I like Rapid Fire but Bryan takes hours to rant with no interesting dialogue and minimal actual material. Sycophantic.

Not sure that anyone actually listens to these guys, but I find it very off-putting that they didn’t even attend ND and have zero direct connection to the school. Strange!

This is probably my favorite college football podcast. They dive into some of the more technical things about football instead of surface level stuff. This is a good podcast for fans that have a football background beyond just playing. Only downside is would say is Bryan sometimes dominates the conversations. But ultimately I respect everyone’s opinions on Notre dame topics here, even if I don’t agree with them.

Ostermann is described as “a political scientist who studies state capacity, law and regulatory compliance,” but she has also placed much energy in recent years to promoting abortion and to denigrating those who oppose it. A mere listing of just some of her essays and op-eds—most written in collaboration with her one-time colleague Tamara Kay—published in the last five years gives a rather sickening sense of her views: “Medical fraud at crisis pregnancy centers should make us rethink policy”; “Banning abortion pill mifepristone would be a terrible policy choice and violate human rights”; “Abortion, racism and guns: How white supremacy unites the right”; “Forced pregnancy and childbirth are violence against women—and also terrible health policy.”

These guys are so convinced they are right about EVERYTHING. One guy was a low level D3 assistant and the other guy was a HS JV coach. This show opined that ND should move All American, Nagurski Award winning safety X Watts. back to WR. and Phil Jurkovec (BC & Pitt QB Wash out) should have been QB1 over Ian Book.

This is the best analysis you will find anywhere. These guys know how to break down film and give you the info. Love listening to them!!

They rundown Texas Tech. Texas Tech has a ranked win! ND zero while playing Navy and a poor win against Boston College. Hilarious. Interesting what happened in 1900, but it’s the hack that ND gets a playoff spot while playing no one and losing.

My wife recently suggested podcasts over the summer as I was was putting around the house. I didn’t find many great ones, however, I did find this one. The detail by actual recruiting experts, former football coaches, and reporters who have contacts at Notre Dane, all combine for the most information a Notre Dame fan can ask/hope for. If you care at all about the fighting Irish and how they do things, from a higher toe to than what you get on the telecast (which is not deep analysis and not meant to be), than this podcast will give you a greater understanding of what we all watch in Saturday’s. Give it a listen, as a former high school and college football player, hearing a deeper analysis of how the coaches are planning, and how the players are executing helps me better understand my Saturday watching. The recruiting work is super helpful as well. Overall a great podcast.

If you’re looking for positive reinforcement and ultimate optimism about Irish football this is a great podcast with lots of new content and regular updates. If you want to hear honest opinions about what’s really going on and what would benefit the Notre Dame football team, other podcasts and other outlets are a better option. I certainly understand employees following the direction their supervisor gives in an effort for self and job preservation which is what this seems to have outside of Sean. That being said, Vince certainly provides some comedic relief. Unfortunately, Bryan Driskell seems to carry the water for his “sources” and does not want to upset the apple cart. There is certainly a place for this type of media but just don’t hold too much stock in it.

I had to stop listening to this podcast, which makes me sad because I spend a fair amount of time in the car and try to consume as much ND football related content as I can. I understand Bryan and Trevor don’t like Joe Rudolph, and he deserves criticism for the Miami game, which every other ND podcast has given him, but when they blame him for Amil Warner’s poor technique in getting turned around at the end of the Miami game I draw the line. It quits being analysis and starts becoming their axe to grind or they are just out of material to fill their show.

The Irish Breakdown is amazing and I love listening to this podcast. So much information and knowledge with everyone on the pod! You guys do a great job! Keep up the good work. Can’t wait for the season! Go Irish

You can’t just turn this over to your team and expect the same content reviews. We love you for a reason. Just like we did with everything Lou did. I know a business model is to turn everything over to your team, but not for a podcast. Much love, either way.

I have been an Irish breakdown board member for 4 years, and every single year Bryan and the IB team delivers. They go above and beyond on covering Notre dame football. THANK YOU IRISH BREAKDOWN Team IB for life.

Driskell is very knowledgeable about the sport,prospects and college teams. The whole crew does a great job spreading their opinion backed with facts. Guys interact well with listener on IB Nation premium page. I like the way they go about reporting on the team, players and prospects. A very positive atmosphere towards the members and community. Honest opinions, not just Homer opinions. Best show around.

If you’re looking for detailed analysis of both ND football and college football, this is the podcast. Bryan and his team are all former players/coaches and provide top notch breakdowns. Bryan has also been covering Nd for years so he has great insight into the program.

Irish breakdown has the best coverage of Notre Dame football out there! Great knowledge and insight into the team and great analysis of Notre Dame and College football as a whole

I am an ND graduate and I am obsessed with ND football. I found this podcast years ago, and I’m extremely impressed with its quality, professionalism, and accuracy. I am an MD, and Bryan assesses and diagnoses plays and player evaluations in a similar manner to how we MD’s analyze problems and formulate treatment plans. Very comprehensive. The rest of the cast is great. I pay $50/year for the board subscription, and it’s a no-brainer. We are fortunate to have this podcast for ND. I am also a huge Arizona basketball fan, and there is nothing like this for that program (which also has a rich tradition and always has ongoing news). Thank you Bryan and IB!!

In a world of illogical sports conversations the analysis and critical thinking is a breath of fresh air. If you’re a Notre Dame fan or college football fan this is an excellent podcast.

Absolutely the best Notre Dame podcast.

Listen to them everyday since 2022 . Accurate information and great opinions. Been looking for a fix for ND 365 and this is the place to be! Go Irish!

I think the title sums it up!!! The IB staff provides accurate intel n provides a platform for me to remain in the know. Go IB staff, Go Irish!!! ☘️

I appreciate all the guys at IB from Bryan and Trevor to Sean, Vince, Jessie, and Shaun on the recruiting side. They give great insights into the world that is Notre Dame Football. Keep up the great work fellows and Let’s GO IRISH!!!

By far the worst in the ND football podcast space. These guys all talk a lot without saying anything. If you want insightful and entertaining content go with the pros at the Independent or Irish Insider. If you want to hear how a failed d2 coach thinks he can do better than the coaching staff while talking over every cohost you’ve found your home.

By far the best in the business.

Let’s Go!

I used to love the show, but it’s no longer a show. It’s full blown advertising.

16:00 in and we’re on our 4th ad break.

Ty Willingham. (Disaster) Karl Dorrell atUCLA (total disaster) I give Freeman no chance to be successful at winning games at ND.

Too many “episodes” per day. I’ve seen as many as 14 in one day in the offseason. Too many adds. Too long winded. Too sensitive (Bryan) to anything close to a critique on him. Too redundant, they say the same thing 1000 times between all the hosts and call it “content”. The sad thing is, the actual analysis is very good. I just can’t listen 3+ hours a day to hear 20 minutes of actual content.

1. This podcast used to be good but as another reviewer said there are too many ads! Every 10 mins or so you have to listen to a minimum of 2 mins to as many as 4 mins of ads! I listen to 5 other ND podcasts and another 12 national podcasts and none of them have as many ads as Irish Breakdown. 2. They do all their shows on YouTube first, but they take several days before they upload their shows as a podcast. Basically trying to force you to watch their YouTube shows. The only exception to this is when the show has an expiration date. Eg It’s news that less people will download after a few days so they upload those YouTube shows as podcasts quickly.

Great show, objective and entertaining. But the ads make it almost un listenable. Goes about 4 minutes if ads, 2 minutes show, 3 more minutes of ads. And the a couple more ads guaranteed after that…

I love IB and appreciate the amount of show you guys do everyday. I don’t think people appreciate how much more you guys have everyday compared to really any podcast where most are doing one show a week. Also love how Bryan, Sean, Vince, Jesse, and Ryan all bring different strengths and insights to their shows!

The number of ads completely ruin the listening experience. And I’ve listened to BD for years

Everyone is great except Jessie. He really is bad. He doesn’t answer question correctly, he’s always arguing with his dad when he’s wrong, giving just an akward vibe about the whole episode. I love IB but I just don’t think Jessie should be on there and for goodness sakes Jessie it’s 85 degrees get your butt up and put in your ac in your home goodness.

This is the go-to channel for Notre Dame Fighting Irish football podcasts. Daily info. Daily analysis. Daily commentary. Daily everything ND football. Plenty of staff perspectives that prevent single-minded analysis.

Great Stuff!

Spending an entire episode ranting and bashing Kelly? Your hate for him is apparent, and it shows clearly. I don’t even like Kelly, but after this poor rant of an episode, it reminds me why I don’t subscribe to your site. He’s gone, why don’t you move on and talk about ND, not LSU

I love this show and I think y’all are genuine people but the ads are killing me. If I have to hear “Don’t search, match with indeed…” one more time, I might throw my phone out a window. Great content though!👍

Awesome podcast however, wish there was a way to know if Bryan is actually on. Pretty meh minus Bryan.

The IB guys bring a tremendous amount of coverage with great insight. They are clearly connected to the program and recruits and have a good understanding of the game and break things down well. Thanks IB!

Been following ND football deeply for decades , this us by far the best, most insightful on the ND beat. Only one(other than Prister)that really knows player evaluation. Good recruiting coverage also. Some of these other Reviews are so stupid, they’re not worth paying attention to. If you’re a smart football fan that’s interested in learning about ND, this is easily the best

Half of every episode is ads and quantity has taken priority over quality. Less episodes would be better, after an episode it’s like what did I actually get out of that

Tons of content so a good time filler though out the day but repetitive. Also not a great listen from a recruiting perspective. BD says every guy is a 4 or 5 star so Georgia must be getting 9 star guys.

As they try to fill more airtime it simply has gone way off track. Repetitive and boring. Time to move on to more crisp and succinct discussion.

Love to listen to this podcast. All the speakers are great. Shaun Davis is the lone one to skip over. Never adds much insight and is too long winded. The rest are phenomenal.

Incredibly informative and insightful. Love the analysis from football minds more educated than my own. At times find myself frustrated by Brian cutting his co-hosts off every. single. time. they open their mouths… Let these guys complete a thought man.

This guy spends half his time pushing far-right conspiracy theories and conservative talking points instead of talking about the team.

ND grad here. There is NEVER an immediate post-game pod - audio or video - where fans (like me) can decompress after a horrible loss like this, or even a win. It’s your JOB to provide fans with your insight and reviews. Why take post-game time off? Because it’s a weekend? C’mon. This OSU loss is DEVASTATING and when will we get to hear what you guys think about the game including ONLY TEN MEN ON THE FIELD FOR THE FINAL TWO PLAYS??? we rely on you to help us make sense of things that don’t make sense. What doesn’t make sense to me is that football pods almost NEVER do an immediate post-game pod. Why is that?? Make sense and I’ll change the rating, because right now I’m mad at the world and you’re just the object my anger. lol 🤦🏻
