He did have to win 2 or 3 games to get to that NC
That feels like a bigger accomplishment than getting absolutely dominated by Bama

Don’t bring facts into it. BK was 0-3 in playoff/title games at ND.

LSU fan- Freeman only won in year 3 because of BK’s players! Also LSU fan- BK needs more time 4 years in because Coach O left the cupboard bare!
So stating facts = coping?
BK has shite the bed.
That being said, Freeman at LSU under those circumstances would have probably been equal to BK (at best), and probably worse.
That being said, Freeman would be better long term imho. But that’s not now.

When it comes to LSU fans and their irrational hatred of Freeman? Yes.

If my aunt had a pecker she would be my uncle.
Now enjoy the Texas Bowl while Freeman and the boys play in the CFP again.

Go look at ND's starting 22 last year. How many of them actually played under BK?

Freeman is just more likeable than Brian Kelly and benefitting from a 12 team playoff at Notre Dame.
He's producing the same regular season results at Notre Dame as Kelly.
Regular Season and final CFP Poll:
Brian Kelly
2018 - 12-0 (#3)
2019 - 10-2 (#15)
2020 - 10-1 (#4)
2021 - 11-1 (#5)
Marcus Freeman
2022 - 8-4 (#21)
2023 - 9-3 (#16)
2024 - 11-1 (#5)
2025 - 5-2 (No CFP Poll yet, but Notre Dame will be top 12)

If you can’t see the difference in the style of play between a Kelly-coached team vs a Freeman-coached team, you’re hopeless.
Kelly’s teams are soft. Not physical. Can’t pick up a yard. Disorganized. Wasted timeouts. And of course Kelly takes no blame for any of it. Finger pointer to the max. He needs to GTFO ASAP.

And yet they both have 2 losses through the same point in the season vs the best 2 teams they both played, this year.
Until Freeman wins a title at Notre Dame, his results in the trophy case, no matter how good they make you feel about style of play on the field, are the same as Kelly at Notre Dame

Freeman has Sugar Bowl and Orange Bowl trophies.

Name a major bowl win from Kelly. Just one. I will wait.
(Freeman has 2 already. And only been a HC for 4 years.)

Here’s the thing, Freeman won his playoff games, BK did not. Doesn’t matter if there are 100 teams in the playoff, if you don’t win the games you play you haven’t accomplished anything.
Freeman is a winner. His team beat a Top 25 USC tonight in a rain storm, with a freshman QB playing his worst game of the season, and 10 penalties. BK lost those games repeatedly. Think NC State in 2016 and Michigan 2019.

Cool
James Franklin had 2 Fiesta Bowl trophies, 2 Rose Bowl trophies, and a Cotton Bowl trophy to go along with 2 playoff wins at Penn State
All that matters at the big boy programs is national championships, and until Freeman gets one at Notre Dame, he's achieved no level higher than Brian Kelly at Notre Dame.

Those were playoff games you dumbass.
Keep telling us how BK is supposedly the #2 SEC coach though.

I'm not. He made a catastrophic error in hitching his wagon to Joe Sloan and it will likely end with being run out of Baton Rouge.
He hasn't won at LSU and will be gone if he doesn't make a miraculous turnaround.
Just strictly speaking results at Notre Dame between Kelly and Freeman.

Notre Dame in the NIL era is not fair to compare to Notre Dame in the pre-NIL era.
