Today's Rapid Fire topics include:
* Which is the bigger deal: losing general manager Chad Bowden or losing defensive coordinator Al Golden?
* Fill-in the blank...After the departures of both Golden and Bowden...your feelings about next season are BLANK.
* On a scale of 1 to 10...With Marcus Freeman set to hire Chris Ash as defensive coordinator, what’s your concern that Mike Mickens will be gone soon?
* Some subscribers posted questions for us last week for a We In/We Out show that we didn’t get to do due to my travel schedule. Here’s one: Much like the 2024 schedule, the 2025 schedule has only one really tough game again. Notre Dame goes 11-1 again to a surprising opponent.
* Fill-in the blank...It’s BLANK that the 2027 national championship game will be on Jan. 25 in Las Vegas.
* Fill-in the blank...We only had one show last week, so we didn’t get to talk about this: Kirk Herbreit’s crying on TV talking about Ohio State winning it all is BLANK.
* During his introductory press conference as head coach of the Chicago Bears, Ben Johnson said he enjoyed beating Packers head coach Matt LaFleur twice a year. Do you Buy or Sell your new head coach coming out of the gate throwing heat like that?
* Do you Buy or Sell the Kansas City Chiefs being in their third straight Super Bowl and in their fifth in six years being more impressive than what the Patriots did during their championship days?
