I must say that there is a lot of angst over Marcus Freeman and ND out there. I am hearing he's been offered a very good extension and the AD has publicly said they would match any other offer he's getting and they want to provide him with what ever he needs to succeed at the highest level. But that he's not signed the deal offered. Much talk about Freeman and the Giants. I can't imagine that he is a better fit for the NFL than he is for the NCAA, I don't even think the $$$ would make it worth while. I mean top college coaches are making 10M/year and up. Top NFL coaches are making more but is that all there is for him? I think most of us would agree that he's a perfect fit for the Irish. I just wish he would sign the new deal and we could all breath a sigh of relief. What I wonder about is the snub of ND by the committee stunned him about what he has to accomplish to make the playoffs at ND. I wonder if he was stunned by the players (reportedly) coming to him and saying they didn't want to play in the bowl and the AD saying OK at the same time he was verbally taking the ACC to task along with the committee. Maybe he thinks this isn't what I signed up for, I don't know. I do know if he leaves the Irish I'll be devastated.
I cannot believe that he would seriously opt out for the NFL! I think that would be a serious move his part.
Huge rash of younger coaches going to the pros and currently there. If its a rumor. Might be true then. Speaking of moves, when are you guys supposed to join the B10? Merry Xmas Everybody.
