I think he’s a very good coach, but Freeman’s mentality and aggressiveness is going to enable creative and strong special teams play no matter what IMO.

I find this one very surprising moreso than disappointing

Shoot, call Brian Mason and see if he’s still happy with the dumpster fire in Indy. Won’t be devastated if Biagi leaves.

If there was an offer to report, he would have already accepted it.
Why do you say this? Does Biagi have connection to OSU/ Columbus? I thought he was a life long ND fan with the media hype he got last year during the playoffs with his late father.

Nothing to do with Biagi, just in coaching carousel talk offers only get extended to people that have accepted an offer.

Imagine being an OSU fan and not really understanding who Marty is and what he's done outside of the kicking game

They have to see those kicking stats and being confused as shit lol

His tricks and fakes are great. But his lack of developing and/or evaluating talent is worrisome.

Biagi Team FG % Rank by year:

2025: 133
2024: 128
2023: 99
2022: 88

2021: 26
2020: 46
2019: 44
2018: 12
2017: 3

His kickers were dynamite at North Texas and Purdue and have been abysmal at Notre Dame and Mississippi State. Also odd that it’s literally a straight line down aside from 2021.

A common theme for these coaching searches is that often an agreement is in place before a formal offer of out.

If Biagi left, I'd love to see them get Papuchis from Mizzou. He's only been there like a month after leaving FSU. The Noles suck out loud, but they have had damn good K's and P's.

So, one of the big reasons I wanted him to stay were for those borderline spectacular fake punt play designs.

Then I listened to power hour where they discussed Biagi and mentioned those fakes are all Freeman plays that he came up with.... suddenly losing him doesn't feel like that big a deal.

Turns out when you win, your coaching staff ends up being in demand.

We all want a National Championship, and I believe one is coming soon, but when it does it's going to come with that demand even more than what we're seeing now. That's the consequence of the success we all want as fans, and ultimately, these dudes are not fans like us. These are just jobs to them.

Freeman's last two hires have been Seider and Partridge. Every vacancy is now a major opportunity.
