Well send in the lawyers. Mel will fight for as much money as possible. I wonder if his buyout will have MSU go the cheap hire on his replacement.

I also think they will look to hire a black coach to mitigate any racial bias claims. Hasn't Mel brought this up already?

Sherrone Moore is who we need, we need to be a bully ball team again. Grab him then I would go after Floridas DL coach for DC.

The writer was Rico Beard, he’s not well respected even among Spartan fans. It’s flash article and wild take. It’s not happening. Most insiders are hoping and pulling for Elko or Huff from Marshall.

Only school Freeman would leave ND for is OSU and I still don't know if he would be their first choice he most likely would be Fickell

I do not believe at all he is making 3 million a year. Great research.
He's probably getting 3 mil from the school and the rest of his contract filled out with a combo of NBC money and an endowment. BK was making 8 mil per at ND before he left for LSU, I would guess Freeman is making ~6-6.5 mil at this point.

Last time I laughed at a report about our coach leaving, BK went to LSU hours later.
Think I'll just internally chuckle this time.

Even if he's getting more elsewhere, if he's only getting $3M from ND, chalk it up on the long list of embarassing ND vs ND football list.

In reality but I'm sick of ND being so cheap to the program in perception and reality.
It is reality I totally agree! The board of trustees administration and savvy. Jack will not pay to have the best possible coaching staff. Everything’s always slightly less than Market. Fucking idiots.

Bk was not making $8 million! Gmafb. All and he was making slightly less than 6 million that’s why when LSU approached him he was gone because they were actually going to pay for his market worth was.

I'm assuming that the writer can't truly believe that it's even the remotest of possibilities. Just like so many other things, created entirely for clicks. Please don't click on tweet or the link.
You know what if you don’t think Marcus Freeman is going to get a bunch of looks from open positions in the near future you’re out of your mind. He seems to be running a clean program. He is well liked he is African-American and he’s winning to a certain degree he will get looks.

BK got looks and was interested because Notre Dame can be notoriously cheap.

Deep breaths my man. My comment was specifically about Michigan St. There is ZEROOOOO chance that Freeman would go to the Spartans this year.

This all just makes me even feel a bit more guilty for enjoying the dumpster fire previously known as Michigan State.

Of course he’ll get looks but Freeman’s not going to no Michigan State. That would as dumb as thinking he’s only making $3 million at Notre Dame.

Fan base has turned on MF? lol Wishful thinking on his part. MF has the world in the palm of his hands at ND. At MSU he'll always be second fiddle to scUM, even if he wins a natty.

He's turning out to be a good coach thus far. On paper this would be a very good hire, obviously depending on how the rest of this season goes, but they should be near the top of the SBC at the end. Whoever wins that conference this year is going to get some calls.

Sean Spencer. He is one of three UF assistant coaches making $1M or more. He's listed as Co-DC/DL.

Spencer was a heavy hand with recruiting at Penn State. It would be a great hire but it's going to come at a cost to get him to move.

That jumped out at me as well. MF is absolutely BELOVED at ND, from my experience.

Also, I don't think there's any credence to this and it's just radio talk fodder, but...if this happened, I think I would actually turn in my ND fan card. Not because I don't love the team - I do - but there would be no clearer sign that ND just doesn't care about winning championships anymore.
