Summary

Today's Rapid Fire topics include: * Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that Marcus Freeman has been named to the Bear Bryant Coach of the Year Award watch list. * We discuss these descriptions of Irish defensive lineman Gabe Rubio: From Rylie Mills: "When Rube goes in, there's going to be chaos. I don't know where it's going to happen, but if he's in there someone's getting put on their butt or something's going to happen. From Al Golden: He’s just a rolling ball of nails and loves the game.  * We hear comments from Riley Leonard on last week's use of more RPO and ask if the Irish should use more going forward. * This question is from Andre Tonsil on Twitter/X: "What is "culture" to college football? Cause I see it being a difficult question to really answer, because every team has a different idea of what it is for their team."  * Fill-in the blank...There are some people who take offense Oregon head coach Dan Lanning saying he intentionally put 12 men on the field near the end of his win over Ohio State to let a few extra seconds tick off the clock. You feel BLANK about it. * Because Tom Brady has been approved as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders his access as a TV analyst for Fox will come with many more restrictions than other analysts. We discuss how they impact Brady's ability to be an effective analyst.  Shop for Irish Breakdown gear at our online store: https://ibstore.irishbreakdown.com/  Join the Irish Breakdown premium message board: https://boards.irishbreakdown.com  Stay locked into Irish Breakdown for all the latest news and analysis about Notre Dame: https://www.irishbreakdown.com​ Subscribe to the Irish Breakdown podcast on iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/irish-breakdown/id1485286986 Like and follow Irish Breakdown on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/irishbreakdown Sign up for the FREE Irish Breakdown daily newsletter: https://www.subscribepage.com/irish-breakdown-newsletter Learn more about your ad choices.

Let's roll, baby.

0:16.0

All right.

0:18.0

Interesting, this kind of came up a little bit in the mailbag, different, but same.

0:24.5

Fill in the blank. It's blank that Marcus Freeman has been named to the Bear Bryant Coach of the Year award watch list.

0:30.8

A great honor, but it's just a watch list. That's what I would say.

0:38.5

You know what I mean?

0:42.5

Like I think he deserves some recognition to have his team where they are.

0:45.0

They're on the precipice of the college football playoff. They are, you know, talked about a lot when people are projecting what the playoff is going to look like.

0:51.3

There's obviously 130 plus teams in the FCCS and Notre Dame is one of those teams.

So I give him a lot of credit.

0:58.5

So I'm glad he's in the discussion.

I think that's on him.

1:26.6

Mario Cristobal, his team is undefeated down at Miami, you know, a pretty good turnaround for

1:32.5

them. You've got Iowa State. You've got Cignetti down at, you know, at Indiana. Like even the

1:38.8

SMU coach, I think, is probably in the mix. And then you can probably throw the Service

Academy coaches in there as well.
