A New Era at Notre Dame + Dallas Cowboys beat writer Clarence Hill Jr

Straight Fire with Jason McIntyre

On today’s episode, Jason kicks things off with a few thoughts on Notre Dame’s decision to promote defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman to head football coach. The up-and-coming Freeman had been expected to follow Brian Kelly to LSU so the fact that the Fighting Irish were able to keep him - and decided to elevate him to the top spot - shows that they think very highly of him. Later, Ft Worth Star-Telegram Dallas Cowboys beat writer Clarence Hill Jr swings by to discuss Amari Cooper's expected return to action off the COVID list, how much blame Mike McCarthy is getting around town for the team's recent swoon, how Ezekiel Elliott's injuries are taking a toll on his effectiveness as a runner, why he believes the Cowboys still have more than enough to win the NFC East, why on-field chemistry is just as important as health for this team, how offensive coordinator Kellen Moore has become Jerry Jones' new version of Jason Garrett, and much more! Finally, Jason closes the show with a Thursday Night Football Dallas Cowboys-New Orleans Saints edition of the Best Bet.
