Oct 16, 2023 · Marcus Freeman currently has a higher winning percentage against Top 10 teams (2-4). Kind of crazy that Freeman has already coached against six Top 10 opponents -- BK didn't get to six until his 5th year at ND.

Sep 24, 2023 · Yeah, call for Freeman’s job when there is an entire defensive coaching staff who mismanaged the situation that led up to it. Notre Dame lost by one score in the final minute against OSU. Maybe we cool the jets and set down the pitchforks with the calls for firing the head coach after one game.

Oct 2, 2023 · Marcus Freeman is getting paid, not $10 million but who is? If another program makes an offer, ND will match or beat if reasonable. $6 million might be reasonable. The coaching staff is fine, in game decisions need to be improved for sure, and Audric bailed out the staff by breaking it, but the preparation emotionally and physically is exemplary.

Brian Kelly only played 11 top 10 teams in his entire career as Notre Dame's head coach. Freeman will already have 1 with the Oklahoma St Fiesta Bowl and could end up with over 10 in his first few years if OSU, Clemson and A&M stay true to their recruiting rankings and USC has the quick turnaround in a now weak PAC 12 that some expect.

Sep 12, 2022 · Before people castigate Freeman for his loss to Marshall, let us see how well Freeman does the rest of the season and how good Marshall actually is this year. ND actually was pretty competitive with Ohio State. Lou Holtz should know this better than anyone.

Sep 24, 2023 · Freeman didn't want an offsides penalty that would come with having a player running into the field but not making it all the way to the end zone because that gives OSU an extra chance. But calling a timeout you don't have is a dead ball penalty, we'd get half the distance but we'd still only have one chance to get the ball in the end zone.

Aug 18, 2022 · Ideally, I would avoid saying Marcus Freeman, or even Mel Tucker and Dave Aranda, as they've haven't been coaches long enough for us to see whether all the praise they've gotten from recent success is warranted or not. In my …

Jan 10, 2024 · Pete Thamel: With no likely internal replacements at Alabama, here’s a quick projected target list. Dan Lanning, Kalen DeBoer, Dabo Swinney, James Franklin, Mike Norvell and Marcus Freeman.

Jun 15, 2022 · Sorry Marcus, this sounds like you're trying to make both sides happy. You could have said "we take academics super cereal" and stopped before making a comparison to anyone else. He was trying to appeal to the ND alumni who smell their own farts and pretend they are operating on a higher level, and got caught.

Oct 17, 2022 · Freeman inherited a team that had barely recruited skill positions (and poorly when the last regime bothered to recruit at all) and had no clear starting quality QB. Saying that he inherited the best situation in 50 years is absolutely bonkers levels of stupid
