Loy is going to bat for Denbrock. Feel like Freeman has him in his crosshairs. If ND poaches Denbrock it is a sign that they aren't fucking around anymore because it's going to get expen$ive.
Pretty sure LSU won't repay the favor to ND by waiving Denbrock's buyout clause like ND did for Kelly.
I've talked myself into getting very fired up for Denbrock. He's a great relationship guy as well. Makes him a solid recruiter. Golden and Denbrock running the show while Freeman focuses on talent acquisition is the way.
Forget about the young, sexy hires. Freeman is the young sexy HC. He needs to surround himself with great football coaches.
All of the above.
Brian Kelly left ND for LSU because he thought it would be easier to recruit and win a championship. The wind would be at his back. The optics of taking his offensive coordinator after Jayden Daniels winning the Heisman is a PR dream. I don't care who you are, that is an eyebrow raiser.
Assuming Golden stays put once the NFL Carousel comes to a stop, you have Denbrock who was UC OC under Fickell for four years while Freeman was DC there and you have Golden who has already been entrenched at Freeman Notre Dame since Freeman took the job. That's levels of experience and in game decision making that everyone here has talked about Freeman desperately needing, and guess what: he's going into Year Three so he's not only learned from his mistakes but he's going to learn more with two seasoned consigliare behind him.
I'd love to see this be Denbrock for a variety of reasons.
