In the spirit of March Madness, Ty and Dan put together a bracket of 32 coaches and debate which they'd rather want running their programs. Using Bruce Feldman's article as a seeding guide, they work through the top half of their bracket. Is Nick Saban a shoo-in? Why's Mack Brown seeded so low? And why is Jimbo Fisher vs. Kalen DeBoer the most interesting matchup of the first round. Support The Solid Verbal on Patreon: https://www.verballers.com See Privacy Policy at...

Ty chats with Pete Sampson about an intense couple months at Notre Dame, as Sam Hartman transferred in, Tommy Rees left for Alabama, and Gerad Parker was promoted to offensive coordinator from within. How did the Hartman transfer come to be and was there ever a concern he might change his mind? What was the relationship like between Marcus Freeman and Rees? And with bigger names rumored as the next playcaller, is it a disappointment that Parker got the nod? SUPPORT THE SOLID VERBAL ON...
