The Independent: A Notre Dame Football Podcast

This is a must listen podcast if you are a Notre Dame fan. Fantastic, unbiased insight coupled with great guests.

I’m a USC grad and fan. I enjoy the knowledge and objectivity these guys bring to the show. Just listened to them post game the NIU loss. Marcus freeman is a lock to be a disappointment at ND. He has no credentials as a head coach. Zero! It’s like giving the keys to a Formula One car to a kid who works the night shift at McDonalds. He’s almost as silly a hire as DeShaun Foster at UCLA (program suicide) or USC’s hire of Clay Helton. Zero experience. Hire Jedd Fisch! Hire Kenny Dillingham or the Nebraska coach. Don’t hire a total lightweight who should be coaching Toledo or Cal Poly Pomona. You are ND! Or USC! Don’t hire zero’s to head your programs. And, I never saw anything special in Leonard. What’s so special? He had a QB rating of 25 against NIU. He wasn’t elite at Duke by any stretch. Miller Moss is far superior to Leonard. I’ll take Noah Fifita over Leonard.

This is Matt’s “ya know”.

It would be a totally fine podcast if it were just Sampson talking Notre Dame football but I just can’t bring myself to listen to Fortuna anymore. No one speaks with more certainty and less knowledge about the game of football in the Notre Dame ecosystem.
