The good news just keeps on coming. Freeman is trying to assemble an outstanding coaching staff. The more experience he can get around him, the more he will learn and it should pay huge dividends in the future.
Looking at the 2022 schedule today, 9-10 wins for a 1st year HC might be a stretch. I'd be happy with a competitive team against the big boys with 8-9 wins.
While I agree completely that Freeman should be given 2-3 years before passing judgment didn't the coaches you mentioned have previous head coaching experience?
You knew the Irish would come out of the gate on fire and for the 1st 29:30 they played that way. No excuse for losing after being up 28-7. Hopefully MF learned a lot today.
