Article said is now a 7 year extension so if this is his last year then why add a extra year? And what if garbage teams have opening again next year or we win a natty? I mean who knows.. asteroid could hit the planet so lets just enjoy this good news for Petes sake

I would expect this message from a returning player, not a coach. Hate to say it, but I’d expect this to be Freeman’s last year at ND
At this point, full concentration has to be placed on this year to optimize our goal. I'm not disagreeing with you but it's all hands on deck right now. MF needs to be all-present right now, and while he could have shirked the responsibility, he's back in. We got that done so let's work.

Freeman didn't put out that graphic or announce that he is "re-signing." That was, uh, Matt Freeman. He just publicly ended speculation that has been swirling for weeks (despite most of the people who are most informed about all this being confident he wasn't going anywhere).

I don't love the annual speculation either but it comes with the territory when you have a coach with as much upside as Marcus Freeman. And 12 months is an eternity in this sport. Let's see what happens before making any predictions of gloom.

I will say the fact that a coach under contract has to put out he resigned say that Pete better start working on his next head coach list. It might not be next year but it’s coming.

Sometimes an asteroid doesn't sound so bad. 🤣

It's always coming. And every AD should have that list in his mind at all times. Especially one whose coach is getting calls from NFL teams.

This is good news. Enjoy it.

A coach saying "I'm staying forever" doesn't make a lot of sense either. Everything is about leverage, and willingly giving that up in contract negotiations is foolish. Sucks for us fans to always wonder, but be glad we get to enjoy a coach who is so revered that he garners this sort of attention.

Freeman didn't say he re-signed. The story broke that he told NFL teams he isn't interested in leaving for an NFL gig. The graphics are from other people.



You guys need to take a vacation or something, LOL.
