This is true.

I saw it being rumored as well.

Wow! Absolutely amazing! Marcus Freeman exemplifies the true definition of a leader. Not once during Brian Kelly’s tenure did I ever see that happen. There is no one else I would rather have, or feel could do a better job, than Marcus Freeman to lead the Notre Dame football team as head coach.

I’m so pumped!!! LFG!!!!!

I guess he wasn’t a substantially better candidate then, right? And they couldn’t wait for Fickel, because there were recruits saying on Twitter they would re-open their recruitment and look at other schools if Freeman was not named head coach.

It looks like it’s official now. Yes!!!! https://theathletic.com/news/notre-dame-elevating-defensive-coordinator-marcus-freeman-to-head-coach-source/yvD92S75vuLd/

Well guess what, it’s not the 80s anymore, so we need to ditch that old way of thinking. What Notre Dame needs is a young and up and coming coach, who is loved by all and can recruit! Freeman is that guy. Besides, we won’t know until he is given the job and actually does it. And there is risk with any coach, proven or not, so I say the hell with it and give Freeman a chance. #FreemanEra

I’m also seeing multiple reports on Twitter that Rees has agreed to a significant contract extension to stay on as OC, and Mike Elston will be the new DC. Man, hearing all of this news has me so excited about the future!! Yes!!!!!

Oh, and thanks to Mike, or whomever, put the tiger head on the poo emoji.

Hmm, you think?

I’m seeing from multiple credible sources on Twitter as well that it will be Freeman! I’m so pumped!

So well said, Rocket. And I couldn’t agree more!

Once the news broke, the first thing I thought of was Notre Dame getting with Marcus Freeman and start working on a contract to name him head coach. I know Freeman has zero head coaching experience, but here’s a thought. If he is named head coach, an ideal situation would be to hire former college football head coaches as his defensive and offensive coordinators. The first name I can think of is Tom Herman. Honestly, I would love for Freeman to be the next head coach. Just in some of his tweets I have seen this morning is showing me he is committed to Notre Dame and a true leader. And let’s be serious, in order to save the recruiting class, and possibly a chance at a national championship if Notre Dame gets into the playoffs, Freeman needs to be named head coach. We just can’t wait for Fickel. He won’t leave until the end of the season. Oh, and I just read on Twitter that Jack Swarbrick is calling a meeting at 10:00 am EST, so we shall see.

I’m so pissed off about this, especially now that he is the all time winningest Notre Dame head coach. I think since he kept everyone in the dark at Notre Dame, they tell him he can no longer come on campus and they’ll clean out his office for him. Then leave all of his crap outside of the university on the sidewalk for him to pick up. Note in the box has a on it. I mostly feel bad for the coaches, players, and recruits. I know when someone moves on, the right thing to say is, “I wish him luck.” But screw that! I hope he fails miserably at LSU and do not wish him luck in the future.

Yeah, this is not what you want to do for style points and trying to get into the CFP.
