I don't see him leaving ND unless they fire him (which they won't) or he goes to the NFL.


Ohio State would be the one college job I'd be legitimately concerned about on him if it became open, at least as things currently stand.

Dude absolutely isn’t coming to the SEC. ND is a safe place, and as long as you play the game you’ll retire there with little stress. That dog doesn’t hunt here and he knows that.

He saw how leaving ND exposed BK for the coach he really is. He ain’t making that same mistake.

His representation is trying to get him a raise. When the CF Playoff has language mentioning your school specifically and you can get in playing the military academies and ACC schools unless you lose 3 games, why would anyone leave.

ND is pretty arrogant, and they did not want to invest anymore in BK. That is why he left to get a retirement package from LSU. ND is supporting Freeman, with NIL and facilities upgrades, etc. If you look at what ND investing in FB pre and post BK. it seems that he had pretty much worn out his welcome, but they didn't want to spend the money to get rid of him. Freeman will stay there for 5 or 6 years too long, because there is no pressure to win it all, he checks all the boxes, and ND is notoriously cheap. It wasn't the academics holding BK's teams back, it was the arrogance of ND saying kids should want to come here because it's ND and not cut corners and do what was needed to get the kids there.

They are now saying "Hey we are ND and we have a black head Coach". That will only last so long.

Be honest with yourselves. Would Freeman be half as good if BK hadnt stacked the cupboards?
I see a guy in Freeman who’s young and hungry for success, to me that’s something LSU needs.
