On January 5th this year Notre Dame received by far the best news of the off-season when Sam Hartman decided to graduate transfer from Wake Forest. Things have been particularly chaotic in other areas for the Irish since then but the program has to smile knowing they've upgraded at quarterback for 2023. Even though this [...]

Reviewing the Redshirts is an off-season project meant to resurrect discussion about the 2022 Notre Dame freshmen who retained a year of eligibility and discuss their possible impact in 2023 and beyond. The Fighting Irish were able to redshirt 17 players this past season while 1 player medically retired (Joey Tanona) and another player has [...]

Monday morning Notre Dame announced that spring practice would begin on March 22nd and less than 2 hours later Tom Loy from Irish Illustrated broke the news that Joe Rudolph is set to become the next offensive line coach, replacing the departing Harry Hiestand who left South Bend for the second time after just one [...]

Notre Dame brought in their own grad transfer this off-season in an attempt to win it all. Isn't that the goal every year? Yeah well, now Sam Hartman is in town. He'll be working with new offensive coordinator Gerad Parker which will bring further intrigue to this off-season. Who will the Irish opponents be bringing [...]

We've arrived to what may be the most anticipated and controversial depth chart preview of the off-season. Let's fancy a discussion about Notre Dame's linebackers! Indeed, we have two forces slamming into each other (like a Marist Liufau stuffed blitz into the left guard) right now about whether the Irish linebackers are good enough and [...]

Once the controversy of the Andy Ludwig decision to stay at Utah came to pass our writer's room figured the continued search for a new offensive coordinator would be tight lipped (for real this time!) until things were truly signed, sealed, and delivered. Instead, reports came out almost immediately that Notre Dame tight end coach [...]

The wide receivers came into focus a lot last year with a new coaching regime and a new situation at quarterback. However, the quarterback situation deteriorated and that had a trickle down effect for the wideouts where no one in this unit could even crack 400 yards on the season. Things should be different in [...]

Oh, Notre Dame. You messed up. Marcus Freeman hosted Utah offensive coordinator Andy Ludwig on campus this past Friday and Saturday while news about other candidates stopped and the reporting went cold throughout the entire weekend. All signs pointed to Ludwig joining Notre Dame once he returned to Salt Lake City, got his affairs in [...]

Just minutes before the Super Bowl kicked off on Sunday night Notre Dame received some breaking news. No, it wasn't the announcement of a new offensive coordinator just yet. Instead, offensive line coach Harry Hiestand is retiring and will no longer be with the Fighting Irish. The decision isn't terribly surprising given Hiestand came back [...]

Notre Dame is entering an absolutely massive season for the defensive line with question marks all over the place. That will offer us a whole lot to talk about today. Will the Irish be moving some players around? Adding more transfers? Truly adopting more of a 3-man front? Marcus Freeman and Al Washington, in conjunction [...]
