Another question, do we pull any Cincinnati guys along with Freeman? Via the transfer portal?

 

[Whiskeyjack]

I wonder if the admin decided to reach for Freeman because they see him as Kelly's potential successor.

 

[GATTACA!]

So does Mickens have ties to Freeman?

Yes they were teammates and are close friends.

 

[WilliamWallace]

Yes they were teammates and are close friends.

Well that’s a big deal. Thank you

 

[WilliamWallace]

Does this site have an auto update option? If not we need one.

CB Bryant announced return
S Forrest declared for NFL
S Wiggins declared for NFL
DT Brooks announced return
LB Beavers announced return
DT Ponder declared for NFL
DE Sanders announced return

That is from a quick scroll through one players twitter RTs lol.

Unless Freeman can coach linebackers that means Joseph is out correct?

 

[Polish Leppy 22]

Wow. Shocker. I'll eat crow on this one. I didn't see ND being ready to go toe to toe with LSU financially. Big win for Kelly and ND.

Only downside is he may only be here 1 year. TBD...

 

[Dale]

He is the LB coach. It’s in the release.

 

[PANDFAN]

Really happy and excited for the future... And love watching all the negative shit spewed all over the board how we are pathetic etc..... So suck it you negative fucks

 

[Huntr]

jackpot. This is great news. Freeman is a DOG at recruiting. Really happy this happened.

 

[FightingIrishLover7]

So does Mickens have ties to Freeman?

They went to the same HS...Played together...coached together.... yeah, they have ties lol

 

[GrangerIrish24]

So if Joseph leaves, what about brining in Steeples?

 

[Luckylucci]

So if Joseph leaves, what about brining in Steeples?

Or put Cooks at S.

From what I've seen and read on Steeples I think he could be a dynamite recruiter but unsure if that is the route they go if they only need one DB coach. IMO, he was an obvious choice if they needed two.

 

[Ndaccountant]

I'm wondering that myself.

 

[NDdomer2]

Is the speculation of Joseph leaving, Strictly that he didn't get the DC job?

 

[NDisme]

Well done now go get: Cyrus Moss, Tyson Ford, Caden Curry, Sebastian Cheeks, Bobby Taylor jr, Zion branch etc.

Cooks is a very good recruiter too. He was top 20 a few times I believe.

 

[WilliamWallace]

To those comments regarding negative posts towards ND, it’s simply frustration for those of us who just want to reach the top. I want this team to be considered with the likes of the Big Boys, it’s Notre Dame, it’s not too much to ask. Stop trying to rub dirt in our faces. It’s been a long time since ND has done what they’ve done today, if ever really. I, along with many others have been pretty critical and that’s ok, it’s called passion. Sorry if that passion upsets some of you, it is what it is.

 

[NDdomer2]

Put your war paint on willy dubs, no time for feeling sorry

 

[NDdomer2]

Honest question, when was the last african american Coordinator at ND?

 

[NDRock]

Honest question, when was the last african american Coordinator at ND?

During the Weis years we were the only school with both coordinators being AA. Corwinn Brown and I forget the OC.

 

[NorthDakota]

I know next to nothing about this guy but anytime you lock horns with LSU over a coordinator, and win....hell yeah

 

[KPENN]

Corwin Brown?

 

[NDBoiler]

Freaking sweet, welcome Mr Freeman.

 

[Ndaccountant]

Haywood I believe.

 

[NDRock]

Heywood I believe.

Yep. Knew it started with an H. Getting old.
