Irish Shine at the Super Bowl, Notre Dame's Ice Chapel, Winter Olympics, Tampering With Love

Описание: On the latest episode of The Echoes: A Podcast on the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, Mike Golic Jr. and Jessica Smetana kick things off with Notre Dame flying all over the Super Bowl. 🍀🏈

Rylie Mills comes up with a massive sack, Julian Love seals it with a clutch interception, and the Irish make their presence felt on the biggest stage in football. Mike and Jess break down all the Notre Dame moments from Super Bowl Sunday and what they mean for the program.

The conversation shifts back to campus, where last week’s ice chapel built during South Bend’s record-breaking snowstorm grabbed national headlines after Mass was held there. Peak Notre Dame energy.

With the Winter Olympics underway, the crew also gives a shoutout to Notre Dame’s own Jadin O’Brien, a former Irish track star now competing in bobsled for Team USA. Will you be watching him represent ND in Milan this weekend? 🇺🇸❄️

After the break, Mike and Jess dive into the new faces leading Notre Dame football. The hires are official:

Aaron Henry — Co-Defensive Coordinator / Defensive Backs Coach

Brian Jean-Mary — Linebackers Coach / Run Game Coordinator

What do you think of the new defensive staff? Hit the comments and let us know.

Recruiting news rolls on as QB Teddy Jarrard officially signs with the Irish and is set to arrive on campus this summer, helping shape the quarterback room for life after CJ Carr. Are you excited—or skeptical—about the future of ND’s QBs? Sound off in the chat.

Plus, roster updates for the 2026 season, including who’s rocking new jersey numbers, and a deep dive into the new CFP schedule, with the National Championship now pushing into nearly February. Is this too much for college football?

To close things out, Mike and Jess discuss comments from friend of the pod and future NFL star Jeremiyah Love, who revealed he was contacted by other schools while still enrolled at Notre Dame. Fair or foul? The crew breaks down “legal tampering” in today’s college football landscape.
