20 years ago Urban Meyer had the choice between returning to ND (His supposed dream job) or going to Florida. Boob Davie convinced him to go to Florida because "you can't win at ND anymore." Fast forward to today, you can't win at Florida anymore and we have the coach everyone wants.
Well Bob Davie certainly didn’t win much at ND.

There is only one school that can possibly take Freeman from us and it ain't one of those two. I'm not even sure he'd leave for OSU at this point. I think Freeman's next challenge will be the NFL, just a matter of when.

MF's wife's disdain for toxic fanbases i think will deter him from ever considering the OSU job

The fact that Ryan Day was nearly run out of town after going 10-2 last year (pre-playoffs obviously), was getting death threats, and his kids were made fun of in school (a Catholic school btw) is pretty shocking. I haven't heard of anything like that happening at ND, even to coaches who were far less successful than Day. I know every fanbase has some nutcases in it, but yikes.

Ohio State fans are on an entirely different level of brain rot.

Today's clip is much worse.
Weird to say Brian Kelly used ND as a stepping stone to the SEC when he was here for 12 years.

If Marcus Freeman truly feels that Florida is a better job then ND right now, then I wish him all the luck.
The judgement that would show would make me think twice if he is the right person to guide this program into the next decade.

Of course, I don't believe he thinks that...but talking heads need to feed the 24/7 news cycle.

"one bite everybody knows the rules"
Takes like 4 bites and talks while chewing.

I can't stand him.

You nailed it. We live in an attention economy and ND content generates clicks, especially if it makes people scared (Freeman could leave) or angry (ND is a stepping stone) regardless of the truth or facts.

Enjoy the moment, nothing lasts forever!

It was very nice to be listening to Cover 3 and all of them agreed that Freeman's agent is just shopping and maybe Freeman is trying to get more leverage for the transfer portal with admissions. Danny Kanell said "Can we put this Freeman stuff to bed? It's perfect up there."
