Notre Dame social media reacts to CJ Carr being named the starting quarterback
On Tuesday, Notre Dame football announced who will start the season opening game against Miami, redshirt-freshman CJ Carr. The Michigan native beat out Kenny Minchey for the role, as the two battle through the spring until head coach Marcus Freeman had made a decision. He did say on Sunday that he would take into consideration who offensive coordinator Mike Denbrock and quarterback coach Gino Guidugli thought best fit the offense. At the end of the day Carr was the choice, and while many didn't see it coming due to reports that Minchey looked better during camp, the Irish went with the younger option. There was no doubt that social media was going to react to the news, and here are some of the best comments shared by insiders and fans. A bit surprising The competition was fierce, and while it didn't seem like Carr would be the choice at times, he eventually was. It's a bit premature to suggest that Minchey would leave, especially since anything could happen during the season. Talia Baia has been all over training camp, so she would know it was a bit surprising. JaDon Blair's father gives Minchey helpful advice It's a family in South Bend, and that extends to the players families as well. Blair surely knows Minchey put his all into trying to win the starting job, and the elder Blair gives him some great advice. There's no need to get down on yourself, just get ready for the next opportunity. Not a Michigan man As The Athletic's Vannini points out, Carr is a Michigan legacy who didn't follow his grandfather to Ann Arbor. He would have had a shot to start there was well, since it looks like they'll be turning the offense to a true freshman. The Wolverines loss was clearly Notre Dame's gain, which stokes the rivalry fire a bit more. Is this the appropriate meme? I'm a big fan of Pickell, but I'm not sure this is such a crazy decision. Both quarterback had pro's and con's, but going with Carr's immense upside makes plenty of sense. There's schedule is manageable, and there's plenty of time for him to get acclimated to this level. However, if Pickell is saying this could be fun, then let's go. Great work on the graphic The graphic of the day, besides the actually announcement of course. The little details are fantastic, from the 'Freeman Film' to the 'manufacturers of Joe Montana and Brady Quinn'. You win the day Rational ND Fan. Upside in Carr It very much seemed like Freeman didn't want to play it safe, and went with upside in Carr. While Minchey still has all the traits you are looking for in a quarterback, in my eyes, the new starter has a certain flare about his game that elevates the players around him. That's something you just can't teach. And throws like that. Minchey had a legit shot While many thought that it was Carr's job to lose, Minchey sure didn't let that get in his way of impressive many people during the competition. I also believe that the coaching staff gave him a legit chance at winning the job, and he almost did it. Thank you coach Freeman Finishing with this great post, The 4 Horsemen Podcast shared a great post on the quarterback outlook. There was only going to be one starter, the other disappointed, who needs to continue to stay ready. The fact that Notre Dame was in this situation is a far cry from the Brian Kelly era, and Freeman deserves a ton of credit for reshaping the Irish roster.

Notre Dame Gets Honest Take From CBS Sports Analyst on CJ Carr Decision
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Notre Dame made a significant decision on Tuesday as they named redshirt freshman CJ Carr their starting quarterback to start the 2025 college football season. Carr won the starting job over sophomore Kenny Minchey after a fairly even competition. Despite being the grandson of former Michigan coach Lloyd Carr and having that football lineage, the decision to go with Carr surprises CBS Sports' Chip Patterson. Head coach Marcus Freeman of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish reacts after defeating the Penn State Nittany Lions 27-24 in the Capital One Orange Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium on January 09, 2025 in Miami... Head coach Marcus Freeman of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish reacts after defeating the Penn State Nittany Lions 27-24 in the Capital One Orange Bowl at Hard Rock Stadium on January 09, 2025 in Miami Gardens, Florida. More Kevin C. Cox/Getty Images "I'm surprised," Patterson said on CBS Sports HQ. "I think that Kenny Minchey brought his lunch pale. He brought a great work ethic. He brought a performance that was consistent enough to really provide a challenge for a prospect in CJ Carr, who is a little bit more highly ranked and regarded coming out of high school. Clearly, he has the pedigree, being the grandson of Lloyd Carr, of being high expectations. Read More: Insider Reveals Major Red Flag for Clemson QB Cade Klubnik "We think that he's someone who eventually could be a first-round NFL draft pick. To all of a sudden have a position where Kenny Minch is making a run at it, the other side of that, is that CJ Carr just hadn't done enough to really grab hold of this job. Now, there is an iron sharpens iron argument that CJ Carr will be better because of what Kenny Minchey has brought to this competition." Carr replaces veteran quarterback Riley Leonard, who helped lead the Irish to the national championship game last season. With the young signal-caller taking over, there will be a learning process. However, with a team built to win now and Notre Dame's schedule, there's pressure on Carr to hit the ground running and shorten any growing pains that he might have under center.

"But here's the problem: We don't need long-term. You look at that Notre Dame schedule, we need now. We need instant results. "You are playing against Miami on the road in Week 1. You are playing against Mike Elko's Texas A&M defense in your second game of the season. You've got Arkansas, you've got Boise State. There is just not a lot of time to be able to learn on the fly."
