Marcus Freeman named Dick Corbett Head Football Coach

[T-Boone]

10 more years? Yuck.

 

[Pops Freshenmeyer]

When is BK’s statue going up?

When GVSU can scrape together the funds.

When is BK’s statue going up?

When he comes back and wins a bowl game that isn’t sponsored by Gaylord Hotels.

Our ball coach.

We were just in Lahaina last winter. Terribly saddened to see what's going on there. Spent several days there, restaurants, shops, visitor center, all gone now, not to mention the lives lost which is likely much higher than is being reported.

Funny one Steelhead.

Shouldn't a Marcus Freeman thread be BK free? Who cares. I care that MF coaches as good as he looks. Get me 10 regular season wins and all this BK stuff will be moot.

Believe it or not, when people post sensible things, I react accordingly. I don't know you from Adam, there's no grudge here, haha. It was a good post, ID!

I'm gonna let him have this one! Can't say I didn't think about it, though, after I read your post

Shout out to this man. Humility and self reflection at its finest. Think about this....flying overseas for the first game, have new OC, new QB, new OL coach, in the rain....0 communication issues. A team that was focused, hungry and prepared. Only one game, but damn, great start to the year for Marcus. Really happy for him. Such a night and day difference than a year ago

Wait... there was no very 1st play time outs or delay of games were there?

What even is this team?

I think this is part of why Parker was a good call to promote.

Freeman has that rapport and prior communication, where there is familiarity within the coaching staff.

I think that goes a long way. Freeman has had time to work with all the defensive coaches, and sans Rudolph, all the offensive coaches.

Underrated point. The continuity and rapport you maintain from hiring within is a big deal. They've known each other for years.
No doubt the heat they took from the hiring process was deserved, from an optics perspective.

Parker rewarded that faith today.

Before the season is over many will be lambasting the Parker hire. 1st game vibes.

Thanks for checking in.

Doubts?

Man I’ve started every year for at least the last 10 years cautiously optimistic. I don’t know what we’ve got either. But it feels real good right now. I’ll remain cautiously optimistic, at least until after the NC State game. Shit might get real after that.

We'll see. Maybe. But Freeman is building a culture and having an OC he trusts like he does Parker is important. Maybe more important than the tactical stuff. Especially when you have Guidugli and a deeply experienced QB like Hartman.

 

[WilliamWallace]

How can a Buckeye, Understand, and mean so much to us? He just gets it I guess.

Did I doubt the culture he's trying to build?

He hired the on Jack wanted. Good game plan today though.

If I were Freeman and someone asked me the biggest lesson I learned in year 1 of being a HC, I would say without flinching, “That I will never have a DII level QB running my offense again.”

I reckon listening to him the biggest lessen he did learn was to be process focussed /obsessed rather than outcome focussed - like Saban always jibbers on about.

One stark difference with MF vs the previous 12 years is that he clearly values playing young guys early and getting them meanful reps. Not only will it pay dividends in the next 2-3 years, but more impressively the young guys have seemed prepared and are executing at a pretty high level when they get their chance for how young they are. Marcus Freemans culture is real.

Also doesn't hurt crooting.

Would be nice to have had a Tennessee state in first two weeks the last 12 years as well

Listening to his PC today just goes to show his personality. They way he talks his coaches up is a thing of beauty.

 

[Fbolt]

The way he takes responsibility.

 

[dankgesang]

The contrast with the last guy is striking. Whatever you think about his record he was a cartoonish, bloviating prick. I'm much happier now.

It’s almost like he acts like a dude with a great AND real personality.
