I’ve been reading some Nd fans takes (they don’t seem upset) and many seem to think the uptick in recruiting was due to Marcus Freeman being in the building.

Seems most want to hire him as HC actually. Even over Fickell

My Notre Dame friends said the same thing. And that the ND Admins wanted to make a change. They think LSU is a soft landing for him FWIW. Not upset with the hire but I preferred bringing back Aranda.

Kelly does hire good assistants. I'm sure that will continue at LSU

Good hire.

Freeman was the hottest DC on the market last year and he's lived up to the hype. Over their last 4 games the Notre Dame defense went 14 quarters without allowing a touchdown. They were playing shite teams but that's solid defense regardless of opponent. It won't surprise me if they're ready to promote him to HC

Freeman is great. They also had a legit D before he got there. Kelly hires good coaches

He’s been there less than a year correct?

He has been there one year. Kellys been winning for a very long time.

What D-coordinator worth his salt wouldn’t want to come to DBU?

Freeman hasn’t finished coaching his first season at Notre Dame

Kelly has been having major success before Freeman was ever even a coach. This is a dumb topic.

Not sure about that. Kelly has always been a good recruiter even before Freeman was there.

I think you are an idiot.

I’m closer to right than your thoughts on Freeman.

My best guess is ND and a lot of fans were ready for Freeman or Fickel having a younger guy. New blood. Kelley’s been there a long time.
Not the same situation as Oklahoma
Still a great hire for LSU, just not a long term guy

Probably pretty important. But Kelly hired Marcus Freeman so I see no reason why he won’t hire another great DC.

ND will NOT hire an unproven assistant as a HC. He will follow and be here for 2-3 years like Aranda. After we win a NC, he will land a big HC job.

Even over Fickell seems like a stretch

2 threads from you on the front page about what you read in ND fan boards. Go back over there and cry with them, bitch
