Notre Dame officially announced Gerad Parker as the next OC for Notre Dame this week after a very public bungling of their search that - right or wrong - has created a perception problem for Marcus Freeman and the program. Greg and Frank dive into that and a lot more.

Notre Dame's late-season surge came to a halt on Saturday night in LA, with the Irish unable to slow down Heisman front-runner Caleb Williams and USC. The Irish had their chances in the game, but critical mistakes doomed their chances. In the aftermath, we reflected on the realities of the Irish roster and where it stands today.

Notre Dame jumped out to a 35-13 half-time lead only to nearly squander it to a weak Navy team before holding on to a 35-32 victory in Baltimore. It was a tale of two halves for the Irish that was a microcosm of the season. Frank and Greg talk through:
What happened to the Irish offense in the second half Why Notre Dame missed JD Bertrand more than Brandon Joseph' The terrible state of officiating in every level of football The development of Jayden Thomas Why Notre Dame fans need not expect perfection from the offense given its obvious faults Braden Lenzy's insane catch Lots of Q&ANote: We talked a lot about the QB position moving forward at Notre Dame, but recorded before all the news of the Kenny Minchey decommitment from Pitt and visit to Notre Dame this weekend.
