Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

[Henges24]

Would be absolutely heartbreaking.

Dont think it happens.

If so, #Reesus

 

[IrishSteelhead]

Seems totally inorganic and contrived. No actual NFL insider type has put him on any lists. Giants vetted him last year, and he hasn't interviewed, nor is he expected to.

I truly believe that these people are mad that ND has the best coach is college football. JB mentioned on II today that extension talks were well received on both sides and nothing has changed

They know what’s coming, plain and simple.

Look at the class coming in.

Look at the class on deck filling up.

Look at the pissed off and motivated donors.

Look at a program that allowed all of the media to shit on their head for decades finally wake up yesterday and say “You know what, fuck you.”

They have radicalized this program, and will still complain when the program operates like a radicalized death squad.

If 2008 actually has sources I may have to throw myself off the roof of the brand new Disney building around the block on Varick

 

[ACamp1900]

Still waiting for a legit source here,….

 

[NDVirginia19]

Wouldn’t be the first time the paid ND insiders got out sourced by Irish Envy this year 🙂

Arrowryan confirmed watched the Freeman-Mara coffee meet up in NYC last week. How was coach’s cologne?

Sampson on today's podcast said something crazy. Was asked if the feeling of being snubbed would cause an uptick in administrative support or NIL funding. Pete's response was not really because "Marcus Freeman wants for nothing at Notre Dame. NOTHING." Said the Board of Trustee/admin's approach was such that if someone told them "the new NIL expectation is $30 million", their response would likely be "so can we do 40M or 50M?"

I did find it interesting they said that and talked about having this great relationship with admissions.

I’m really intrigued by this point now as to where everything stands on the undergrad transfer issue.

I think the next evolution will be 1 or 2 guys a year that are straight football mercenaries. Jamie mentioned on Power Hour today, if a Caleb Downs-like guy hops in the portal this year, do we see ND go all out for that kind of player. I hope so

 

[Irishdwarte]

Downs will be a first round pick this year.

 

[IRISHbluehen]

Downs will be a first round pick this year.

I dont mean him in particular, more so a guy of his talent that would require a large NIL agreement

AK Dear and Isiah Horton, come on down. Ryan Williams? Those Buccee’s 101 classes will transfer just fine. Fuck Alabama.

 

[ozzman]

Malachi Toney, you can be our backup QB, too.

I hope we are outright tampering and taking anyone that can fog a mirror. Start with Ryan Williams, Cam Coleman, David Stone, and Will Echoles. Just go HAM after every SEC player to send a message. One can dream.

Right, I’m just saying that’s a tall order to ask to get a player of that caliber in the portal. I can’t see a player like that being available.

Well he did transfer

After Saban left. Let me put an asterisk next to my statement. *Unless their head coach leaves. Is that better for you?

I'm sorry I didn't consider your feelings when I pointed out that you said something that was literally contradicted by the example being used.

I'm just saying stuff happens. Big names leave schools because their coaches are fired all the time. Probably less than previously because NIL is more organized, but it can happen.

 

[Bane]

Day was mentioned annually for the NFL till basically this year. Kirby doesn’t get mentioned because it doesn’t make sense why he would ever leave given his instant success (and salary) at this level.

Plus, he is an alum and a Saban disciple so I think he (and the NFL) knows his style wouldn't translate to the next level.

That Bruce Straughan guy, apparently a writer for "The Irish Tribune", has been talking about a Freeman extension for about a month now. I think someone posted a tweet of his alluding to it in this thread earlier today. He's been very confident. I follow him on twitter but have no idea how plugged in he actually is.

He knows nothing.

Yes, please consider my feelings next time. Much appreciated.

 

[phillyirish]

Between this NFL talk and the talk about enticing teams to go independent in the other thread, then going back 5 pages to realize neither was kicked off by a substantiated source had been an incredible pain.

Need like a stickied thread pinned that has major updates. Or maybe just an icon that indicates a particular thread exploded because NDFan2008 made a baseless prediction with his “sources”.

 

[BrianWalsh]

Has anybody who could know hinted at Freeman having NFL interest? To me, he can absolutely coach but does he want to coach and develop young men or coach professionals? Because the NFL and college are obviously different and few have made the transition from one to the other well.

 

[NDWarrior]

That is one benefit of sitting at home for the CFP and any bowl game - MF and staff can focus on maximizing ND's portal needs and player acquisition since it's only one short portal right after the holidays. No playoff game distractions (of course, would love to have the conflict if we could).

need some billionaire alum to write a blank check for whatever it takes to poach Toney from Miami.

 

[SWirishfan]

I am the source just wait till tomorrow buddy, I think fans will be happy

 

[SWirishfan]

Is this "Freeman to the NFL" push not suspicious to anyone else?

i hate Urban Meyer
The other residents of the "CFB Coaches I hate" Mt Flushmore

1. Jim Shaw / David Harbaugh
2. Jimmah Johnson
3. Tyrone

Don't limit to the SEC. I'd particularly like to see the coaches taking cheap shots get burned for stepping to close to the fire. Go take Missouri's milk money. The gall of these fuckin guys. To have to inject your voice in it for points is....a choice.

I think we got our Malachi Toney in Bubba Frazier.

Ripped from On3

"Everyone has eyes on Marcus ... All of the credit to him. He deserves. He's the best coach in the country for Notre Dame ... That's a compliment to him."

"One of my main responsibilities knowing that Marcus knows that he's supported and valued by Notre Dame. And I can say with 100% certainty that he feels that way ... We're aligned on how he's the perfect coach for Notre Dame."

Pete says that Freeman will revise Free's contract every year to make sure he's at the top of the sport
