Summary
Andy welcomes back The Athletic's Matt Fortuna to the podcast to discuss a medley of college football topics. Matt sheds light on Notre Dame's transition from Brian Kelly to Marcus Freeman. How is the program adjusting to Freeman at the helm? The guys then inspect Pat Narduzzi's contract extension with Pittsburgh. Why did the Panthers ink Narduzzi for so long, and what's the program's ceiling? Is collegiate coaching and professional-level coaching facsimiles? Matt explored coaches' transitions from college to the NFL and learned about both vocations' different demands. Plus, Andy and Matt share their thoughts on the slap heard around the world.
