Notre Dame Twitter ready for new announcers for NBC broadcasts
With Notre Dame’s 2022 home schedule complete, the final NBC broadcast of the season is in the books. This was the first season with Jac Collinsworth and Jason Garrett in the booth, and, if Irish fans had their way, 2022 would be the only season they have to listen to them.
Don’t believe us? Look at Twitter.
When Collinsworth and Garrett were announced as the new broadcast team for Notre Dame football before the season, public reaction was lukewarm at best and incredibly negative at worst. Still, Irish fans had no choice but to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that the two would prove them wrong.
By the time the Irish were done dominating Boston College, it appeared very little about their perception had changed. That’s not a good look for the people at NBC who made the decision.
Here are some of the more brutal assessments of Collinsworth and Garrett with some tweeters commenting more than once:

Hopefully this is the last time Jac Collinsworth and Jason Garrett announce a Notre Dame game.

Thank god I can’t hear this game. Can’t imagine a more insufferable duo than Jac Collinsworth and Jason Garrett.

Hey @JasonGarrett You don't like that it's cold? You know you could stop commentating. We wouldn't miss you at all!

Somewhere out there is a baking contest in need of a host, which could save us all from Jac Collinsworth. #NotreDame

Is someone gonna tell @nbc that Jason Garrett is almost a worse color analyst as he was a play caller?

do you think Jason Garrett got the Notre same gig at nbc purely because he looks irish

I’m so sick of this @nbc broadcast crew. If this idiot @JasonGarrett still can’t stop calling Michael Mayer Michael Meyer just get the bum out of the booth.
He’s one of the most well known players in the whole country. Inexcusable.

Last NBC game of the season for ND. Last game for Jason Garrett?

“When you win the ball, you usually win the game”. Prophetic words by Jason Garrett. #GoIrish

This IS the last time we have to listen to Jason Garrett, right?

I know it’s World Cup season, but somebody tell Jason Garrett he’s not calling a soccer match, he’s calling @NDFootball on @NDonNBC and to stop saying “nil.” #NDvsBC
