I saw a stat on ESPN that this is his 8th ranked win already and he's one game into his 4rd season... crazy...

His issue has not been "getting up for big games" it has been the toe stubs against crap opponents (i.e. Marshall, Stanford, etc.)

I’m hoping we’re over the hump. We absolutely destroyed bad teams last year. Not even sweat in any of those games. It was impressive. The big road games seemed to be our bugaboo and hopefully last night kicked it to the curb.

Throw in the fact that entire QB room is now better than Pyne/Buchner that first year and I’m confident we won’t see those toe stubs.

I would think a contract extension and raise is coming sometime this year. I would offer him a contract better than Kelly got from LSU. Hypothetically if Freeman would ever leave whose the guys who you would want to come in a replace him? I think Elko would be at the top of the list.

Biggest thing I notice about Freeman this year is that he looks infinitely more comfortable on the sidelines. First two years he looked uncomfortable. Either he knew the TV cameras were on him constantly or was just uncertain when to insert himself into issues on the sideline

Clark Lea is doing his thing too.

It appears he's also better in preparation. There was a question about why use signals when Leonard had the ear piece in his helmet. MF stated that even with the ear piece it might be hard to hear and get it relayed to the rest of the O. Problem solved.

I'm still pulling for him in Nashville. He had a rough two years and I believe I've read some rumors of hot seat discussions, but kudos for a guy leaving for a great opportunity to lead his alma mater at what has proven to be easily the most difficult job in the p4. That was a bit time win against VT for that program and Coach Lea.

I'm not ready for life after Freeman. I'm hoping he brings the chip (or a few) home and we get to build him a statue first.

ND locked up Golden and Denbrock before this season, I agree after this season I think Freeman will deserve a contract extension and raise.

I mean ultimately, Mickens and Mcculoch deserve a promotion. I think top to bottom this is the best staff we have had in a long, long, long time. Probably as long as I have been watching ND Football. The narrative of our staff sells incredibly well too. If you were an 18 year old kid, I'm not sure how you can watch the clips coming out of Freeman this past weekend and not want to wear the Blue and Gold on saturdays.

Yes- I agree to all 3. With the addition of Denbrock this has got to be one of the best coaching staff ND has had in long time.

Same wavelength lol. I have to imagine the value of the marginal dollar spent on this coaching staff is much higher than the marginal dollar spent on NIL

I saw Prister replied to a post on 247 about Freeman getting an extension.

What did he say? My sub there expired on Sunday.

Oregon spent 23 million on their current incoming class/transfers and Ohio St. spent 20 million. I am curious to know what ND spent.

I applaud ND for spending to get this coaching staff.
