Has any D1 cfb program ever had two black head coaches??? I’m trying to think,….

Michigan State & Washington off the top of my head.

USF too.

That's just a quick think tho, I am sure there are more.

Certainly not at the same time.

Northwestern also I think,… yeah thanks.

Yeah I worded that poorly but you know what I meant

Congratulations and I wish Coach Freeman well. Fans are amazing. I can remember back two months ago when 80% of this board wanted him fired as the DC. ND is a tough place to learn on the job. I know the players love him, but will that translate to wins. Let's hope so.

I have a bit of this too and was thinking about the heat he got,… what makes me feel better is his recruiting. If he recruits like everyone expects then the floor isn’t gonna be as low as some may think. However, we should all assume next season may be rough,… it’s not the schedule, especially early, you ideally roll into year 1 with.

Man the potential is huge but this is a huge roll of the dice,… buckle up, butter cup

I'm with you on this. I'm all for it and looking for Freeman to be the next big thing, but it reminds me of the Office when Andy and Will Ferrell do the sales pitch and Will Ferrell totally torpedo's it:


"I would like to start by just saying that I have not worked with Mr. Marcus Freeman here for very long. But I can say, that he's no Brian Kelly.
I can't sit here and tell you he's gonna be a success. I can't sit here and tell you that he's even the best man for the job.

But I can say this: He's got potential.

Sure. You know, I always say: go big, or go home. You go with this guy, you could be making the biggest mistake of your life OR the biggest, good decision of your life. It's either gonna be the BEST thing you ever did, or the WORST thing you ever did.

If you want some boring, white bread clock-watcher who's gonna get you your Camping World Bowl game when you ordered it, for the agreed upon 9 wins, Freeman's not your guy.

You ever play Russian Roulette? Time to spin the chamber, Swarbrick... By signing up for 5 years."


Again I'm all for this move, but the next few years are gonna be wild. Either Boom or Bust, no in between lol.

There’s only one coach left that we absolutely need at Linebacker coach.

Bob Diaco

 

[FWIrish4]

I’m waiting for the video of freeman walking in the room like a fucking WWE wrestler and the room erupts.

Never seen more excitement around the program. Let’s. Fucking. Go.

 

[T-Boone]

I am dang excited. Great move by Swarbrick. We lose no momentum.

 

[yankeehater]

Stoops is the only coach who comes to mind to get his first HC job at a major program and be successful.

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

ND keeping Freeman, Rees, and Balis? Pour a cocktail, gents. And a big middle finger to BK.

How do you define successful and major program?I think that Dabo Swinney would like to have a word with you.

 

[IrishTusker]

Dabo, Riley, Kirby Smart, Jimbo Fisher, Phil Fulmer, Larry Coker...

We'll see, though. It's a risk, but low-risk. Recruiting should be solid and if things don't work out, it will not be expensive/difficult to make a change.

Hopefully we can add Freeman to that list in 5 years!

 

[Riddickulous]

Freeman and Rees and Balis. Unreal.

 

[NDMatt91]

Driskell said that BK offered Marcus over $3 Million to be the DC at LSU.

...what? Stoops, Day, Dabo, Riley, Smart, Coker, Fulmer, Carr, countless old timers like Osborne...

 

[T-Boone]

So the excitement for me comes from the fact that Freeman will now be recruiting offense as well as defense.
I like the sound of that.

Tacos are the only good food that comes to mind.

 

[NDRock]

Agree. Kirby is in line for a championship. Lincoln Riley was pretty good. Day just made the championship last year and won the Big Ten his first year.

 

[Dizzyphil]

Freeman to name Fickell as new DC Jan 11th

 

[dad4aa]

I love Freeman’s defense…most of the time. Will he still be calling the defense or will those duties gave to pass to someone else?

Now I can finally give some dialogue.

I was tipped off on this earlier this afternoon. I was sitting on information that 99% of the world did not know about. I was going to sit on it, but our start up Notre Dame podcast needs this big break.

Sorry I didn't come here first with the information lol.

 

[dad4aa]

Any reaction from our recruits yet?
