maybe already talked about but just saw a headliner somewhere saying coach Freeman is the leading candidate for the bears jobs but don't know how interested he is or would be in the job

Leave a team like ND that is rolling and setup well for the future...for a dumpster fire like the Bears? Sounds like career suicide.
I don't see Freeman as an NFL coach personally. You don't see a lot of "rah rah" successful coaches at that level. Maybe Campbell falls into that mold?

I saw some similar headlines and when you read the article, etc., it reads as speculation like he’s a possible candidate that isn’t being discussed much. Sounds like folks just trying to generate traffic.

Seattle was Carroll’s third NFL head coaching job and he was a coordinator at multiple stops.
He was a NFL guy that went to college, not the other way around.

he is a rah rah guy that had success in the NFL.

He threw the ball instead of running and lost the Superbowl.

That was after he ended Manning's career, no?

Really? Pete Carroll never struck me as a player's coach really. He was always looking pretty calm on the sidelines, low energy laid back imo.

"It wasn’t supposed to work.

Like so many others, I wasn’t a believer of Pete Carroll when it was announced that he would be the next head coach of the Seattle Seahawks back in 2010. He was that “rah-rah” college coach who already failed in the NFL, and it seemed that every report I read from so-called experts painted a picture of disaster for my favorite franchise. Basically, no one believed it would work."

An ode to Pete Carroll

Thank you, Pete, for overseeing the most successful era of Seattle Seahawks football and bringing a championship to the organization.

Eh...maybe earlier in his career, like his 30s-40s? I just never really saw it from the last 15-20, he's 73 now. Never really saw him deliver any passionate speeches or show a ton of emotion from USC onward.
Holy crap...he was a grad assistant 10 years before I was even born. That dude is old.

As a Seahawks fan I would say that Pete Carroll was the ultimate players coach, probably to a fault, and a huge rah rah guy.

It worked for him, until it didn't

I'll always stand by the fact he had of the best "feel" for his team. His pseudo psychological approach got dialed in over time and really worked well for awhile

I think the thing is that, to be a rah rah guy who has NFL success, you need a lot of NFL experience. I don't think Freeman will have the connection with the older players than Campbell and Carroll have.

The goal line interception and the way the team reacted to that call, especially Richard Sherman, changed his demeanor for a couple years. But he was back to himself the last 2-3 years. His fatal flaw was how bad he was at choosing his coordinators. Shane Waldron wasn’t his worst coordinator on staff last year, which is pretty telling.

Give him a fat extension- he young enough to grow at Notre Dame and succeed.

If he leaves who do they get?

I’m a lifelong suffering Bears fan and I don’t want Freeman anywhere near that broken franchise. They will ruin him just like they ruin everything else associated with them. ND should extend him and include a huge buyout clause immediately. If they don’t want to announce it until after the playoffs, then don’t, but get something done.
