Kris Haines joins the show today, a former NFL wide receiver that played for the now Washington Commanders, the Chicago Bears, and the Buffalo Bills. He also won a National Championship playing for Notre Dame back in 1977.
In this episode, our hosts Matt Butkus and Matt Amendola talk to Haines about his coaching experience winning the Division III Italian Super Bowl, his upbringing from high school sports to the NFL, and his teammate, Joe Montana, and their long-time friendship.
In the infamous “Chicken Soup Game” Notre Dame vs Houston in the 1979 Cotton Bowl, Joe Montana connected with Haines on an eight-yard touchdown pass just as time expired. Haines made a diving catch in the corner of the end zone to tie the score at 34-34. The ensuing PAT finished a remarkable 35-34 comeback victory for the Fighting Irish.
