This. Marcus Freeman.

For Notre Dame There Can Only Be One Choice, Marcus Freeman

Notre Dame needs to move quickly and make Marcus Freeman its next head coach

But champions aren't made by taking the easy route or being afraid to take a risk. Freeman is the bold move, he's the high upside hire, he's the risk you take knowing that if you end up being right you made the move that brings a championship to Notre Dame football.

In five years you don't want to be the athletic director or board of trustee member who passed on Marcus Freeman.

This has to be the move for Notre Dame.

Same.

Just talked with my 45 year ND booster friend and he first said the exact same thing as what @Stormin has above. Felt good about that until I told him of CMC's quotes on goals, and why he's stayed in Ames (we all know them).

My buddy's next comment was-- "Wow. I know you don't want to hear this, but that's exactly the type of person ND administration will want. You better hope Campbell doesn't get an interview."

Can you say it again? I didn't quite hear it the first 10 times

Or is it just one 45 y/o ND booster that's friends with a bunch of ISU fans?

People must have gotten real chummy in Orlando

How many people have a 45 year ND booster friend?

I was gonna, but then everyone else did.
The only real "connection" I had at Notre Dame retired after talking with me.

I guess if Notre Dame hires Campbell or Fickell, woke espn will be all over it claiming racism.

I’m calling it that Marcus Freeman gets this job if Fickell says no.

Just talked to my 94 year old ND booster friend. Word is they're bringing Lou Holtz back

I wonder if the multiple posts might be some kind of site-glitch. I just saw a repeat post in another thread (by a different CF member entirely).

(So if this post gets repeated, that's probably why )

I'm 42, I'm a man come talk to meeeeeeeeeeee!!

Are you OK? Did you faint while typing that last paragraph?

HAHA, no, sorry to disappoint. I am at work, juggling a few things while trying to keep up on here. Just hit the post button when I came back to this and forgot to finish my thought.

Such an idiotic post. Why would that even enter your mind. Sick SOB.

 

[KidSilverhair]

Sorry for all the spamming replies. Board is acting up & I couldn’t tell if my post went through.

What does winning a NC do for you personally? Does it just mean that you can talk smack non-stop? Or is there some benefit I'm unaware of? I'm trying to figure out why people drop millions to pay for coaches each year.

I think this is a great question. It would be interesting to hear the perspective of one of those donors who gets tapped when a big hire needs to be made.

Another question, more of a logistical nature...take the Kelly contract where you need $9.5 million/yr for ten years...do these donors "pledge" to give the AD $1 million (or whatever) a year extra for the next ten years to cover the contract, or is the AD just worried about getting the money for the first year or two?

 

[KidSilverhair]

The point in your last paragraph is what Jamie was trying to drive home.

BUT THAT’S NOT HOW HE SAID IT.

He could have “driven the point home” without a completely wrong description of how taxes work.

 

[Clone83]

It may have burned itself out but keep the California vs Texas taxes and politics out of this coaching thread from this point on. If you want to argue this stuff go The Cave and start a thread.

Bye Matt, it was fun while you were here.

I was duped. There was a fake ND account tweeting that they hired him.
