LSU dodged a bullet. This just proves he doesn’t have the chest for the SEC.

I wonder if the title ix stuff had a role to play.

Literally every indication was he liked LSU more but the wife really wanted to stay up there


What indications? Were you sitting at the Freeman family dinner table while they discussed the pros and cons of the LSU job vs the Notre Dame position? Or are you just parroting bullshite you heard or read to make yourself feel better about coming in second? Just because he made some perfunctory, canned statements out of common courtesy to staff members or O doesn't mean he fell head over heels in love with LSU.
He probably wanted the ND job but came to check out LSU to do his due diligence. If he and Sexton could parley that visit to sweeten the deal in South Bend; all the better.

Wtf would you say that


Because attention whores love leaking information. The amount he offered Freeman was bound to be shared. Guy #2 is going to be offered less. That will be leaked also. The difference in the offer would make it clear who was #1, and who is #2. So why pretend the truth can be concealed?

It certainly happened fast. Once Ed said he was the top choice, all he needed was the dollar amount to bring back to ND.

I don’t know that Orgeron’s comments did anything to lose Freeman, though. Ultimately if he was going to shop the offer, he could do it regardless of what Orgeron said publicly.

My issue with O’s comments is that he may have hampered our ability to get someone else. First off, whoever interviews from here on out knows we are getting desperate. Second, if I’m a defensive coach and I’m weighing two equally enticing offers, I’m probably not going with the one where the entire fan base is going to be disappointed from day one.

In other words, in the long Draconian Sanctions tradition you were just talking out of your arse.

If you’re offered an interview, you interview. He interviewed and chose another option. The End.

Trust me I know a hell of a lot more about what went on than you do. I know you want to take whatever opportunity you can to shite on LSU, facts be damned, so go right ahead. Too bad you can’t go post on an Alabama board but alas they’re all shite.

Absolutely. All the visit was for was to leverage more money from ND. He was never coming to LSU.

I think after freeman visited lsu, ND called him back after they heard he was signing with LSU and offered him more money.
Maybe he doesn't like the rumors of O liking trump and not marching.
Maybe it's because ND had a better D. They only allowed 31 to Bama while we gave up 55

I know you’re joking, but realistically LSU and Alabama are the two best jobs in the country for a defensive coordinator and if he decided not to come here, it was for reasons not related to football.

This is what happened. The Cincinnati LB group said Freeman told them he was leaving for LSU yesterday mid day
ND came back with a closer offer - LSU's was still higher but his family would rather be in Midwest, closer to home
