Marcus Freeman on the Dan Patrick Show Full Interview | 12/06/21

[@gerrygeronimo1973]

I am a diehard Michigan fan, but I am rooting for Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame

[@A100-y2c]

GO beat UGA, I'm pulling for Jim H. and UM.

[@ThatOneGuyAround]

I'm a ND and I'm rooting for Michigan to win it all

[@michaelmcgee2026]

Die hard ND fan. Was happy to see you win against OSU.

[@brytonmacpherson2050]

Respect. Go win it all UM. Congrats.

[@thomaskelly4872]

Die hard ND fan but want to give a huge congrats to the Khaki Commander Jim Harbaugh and Michigan beating OSU. I thought the way OSU fans were towards Coach Harbaugh and Michigan showed how classless they are win or lose.

[@badmodem]

Not only a good coach, but a great man! Showing love and respect for his former team and players I'm sure means the world to all those young men. So happy he's ND's head coach! This is how you lead... respect and love first. Success will follow.

[@RickMartinYouTube]

until he vacates to the highest bidder elsewhere - he'll get up and go in the middle of the night

[@rebeccavoodoo2191]

They got a name for the winners in the world (I) I want a name when I lose They call Alabama the Crimson Tide Call me Deacon Blues (Deacon Blues)

[@t.howard3113]

First class. What a great young man. Best thing to happen to ND since Lou Holtz.

[@shade38211]

Was the easiest pick for me and all my Irish fans. No rebuilding years, no loss of recruits, kids love him, a great presence , and no super ego help make him easy to get behind.

[@miket.1284]

Love this guy. Has the same respect for the team and school like Lou Holtz.

[@murrayspiffy2815]

It's so nice - to see someone so happy. Freeman is really enjoying this moment in time. Good for him - I'm rooting for him.

[@stevedillemuth5048]

I’ve never been a Notre Dame fan…I am now.

[@TheMisfits7783]

That's how I feel

[@robertlawler1387]

Welcome,Go Irish!

[@thrill_lords8409]

Welcome to the team… we been thru a lot of up and downs… I love it now we have everything figured out now with the coach we have now !!

[@michaelmcgee2026]

You'll learn half the ND fan base are NDs biggest haters too. It's really bizarre.

[@k2wo1]

Bestof luck Coach! Thanks for what you've already done at Notre Dame. Looking forwrd to great days ahead.

[@dungbeetle14]

I've NEVER been a fan of Notre Dame. But, it's hard not to pull for this guy to have success. So, I will pull for him...except against Georgia.

[@andycarlton4691]

And as an Irish fan I always root for Georgia against Alabama so that's a deal

[@thrill_lords8409]

@@andycarlton4691 irish fan here you still salty about 2020 and 2012 huh ?? Don’t worry so am I 😂😂🤷‍♂️

[@lwivv9052]

Seeing a lot of those comments. He's definitely the most likeable coach they've had since Lou retired, probably. At least so far. It's Notre Dame, so that'll all be over after the first 10-win season he has and the whole country will hate him except for the Notre Dame fans (and MAYBE a few OSU fans). But it's fun while it lasts:)

[@gcseve]

I don’t watch college football but how can you not root for this guy? Extremely personable.

[@codybarrier6295]

Everybody in South Bend is ecstatic over this

[@prashanthganapathy8424]

Head coach with the best hairline.

[@chassmith8779]

I'm glad for the man, class act across the board.

[@irishj_21st]

I bet Mrs Freeman was like," we just moved here a year ago and we got 6 kids.....And I am not moving them or myself to the Swamp's of Louisiana"...I also heard when Coach Kelly asked him to go w/ him, that Coach Freeman wasn't that nice about the answer and that started the ideas from ND AD to think about keeping in house...I couldn't be happier for Marcus and Tommy and this football program. Go Irish...☘️

[@Banksydog]

You heard lol

[@plyingod]

Great interview just wish Dan would have asked about the importance of keeping Rees.

[@TheMisfits7783]

What a humble human being

[@airprok8328]

He is just a real human being and I believe it will go a long way for our Irish. It already has….

[@sully010579]

Congrats Coach Freeman!

[@TheShaund]

How can you not like this guy....

[@rebeccavoodoo2191]

If I had a kid that had football 🏈 talent He would enroll in Notre Dame

[@bradcrawford1998]

Yes, that video meeting his players was AWESOME. Marcus could NOT root against Cincy to get into the playoffs, WOW. To those that think Marcus will jump ship for more $$$. Once Marcus gets his victories, success at ND, ND will have to bump up his $$$, new contract in order to keep him. They will, a BILLIONAIRE ND alumni will cover the extra cash to keep him.

[@frankbonini9128]

That's a Great Story of Marcus Trying to Just Do His Job of Recruiting Rather Than Just Sit Idly By & Twiddling His Proverbial Thumbs & Dilly-Dally

[@mattmccarthy9067]

The knock on Brian Kelly was that he was a lazy recruiter. According to 247, Freeman is ranked as the #3 recruiter in the country. Obviously Bama, OSU and UGA are the top 3, but I expect ND to annually have a class in the 4-8 range and be in the next tier, recruiting wise, with LSU, Clemson, A&M, and USC.

[@doubledown4682]

Don’t be surprised if ND pops it’s head in the top 3 soon. The 23 class is starting off nice!

[@drizzle452]

Brian Kelly didn’t recruit as much as the people around him. He understood how to hire solid recruiters though

[@michaelmcgee2026]

I've read a couple articles about players not committing to ND bc they rarely heard from Kelly.

[@cameroncrazie818]

@@michaelmcgee2026 Curtis Samuel, Chase Young, and Zeke Elliott are just a few of those players. Ironically all went to Ohio State.

[@connorgoss7489]

Never really liked Notre Dame. I will be rooting for Freeman though. Sounds like a good guy and will build an atmosphere there similar to what Dabo has done at Clemson in terms of player-coach relations.

[@joeroman5636]

Went to watch the show on Peacock and of course now we have to pay

[@Sir_Osis]

Let’s go!!!!!

[@dsfddsgh]

Only thing that worries me about Freeman is his youth and no head coaching experience and which in the past 40 years has spelled disaster for ND. Anytime they got a new coach with no head coaching experience it didn't work out well and ND isn't a school where you can learn on the job. Having said that unlike those other coaches who got fired and let the program in shambles and left the cupboard empty ND has a lot of talent coming back next season and is in great shape.

[@pangelos44]

Definitely a coaching upgrade for ND.

[@rebeccavoodoo2191]

Congratulations 🍀

[@Rudy28330]

You have to understand when a leader is respected by his men, such as in the military, police , fire, like marcus freeman is respected by his players, they would die for that man or die trying for his respect. We are in a new era of Notre Dame football folks, strap in, its gonna be a great ride.. HERE COME THE IRISH!

[@allensaunders449]

Great hire

[@TheLearningCatalystCoach]

It's speaks volumes about character, class, enthusiasm, and authenticity that... - while Brian Kelly 1) can't get nearly any assistants from the ND staff to follow him and 2) LSU players jumping ship in less than a week That Freeman has 1) all the good assistants ready to move mountains and stay and 2) players who were thought to be NFL bound...coming back or reconsidering one more year (Foskey, Ademilola, Myron).

[@carlofilippini1809]

It’s crazy to think that the opening kickoff next season will be in the shoe against his alma mater

[@bahabobby8118]

WHAT???? Damn. That game just became the next college football game I'm looking forward to!!!! Well scouted on your part. I barely know who's playing when I wake up on Saturday mornings lol

[@snowman8235]

I think Coach Freeman will do a great job at Notre Dame.

[@davidw9772]

Notre Dame's highest priority is to hire a 5 Stars Defensive Coordinator Lawrence Taylor, along with a 5 Stars Offensive Coordinator Dan Marino to annually sign five 5 Stars Players and attract 5 Stars transfers from Alabama and Miami and Win the National Championship.

[@michaelmcgee2026]

Notre Dame should play NDSU Bison. ND v ND. North Dakota needs real competition.

[@markfusco2691]

The biggest mistake in picking a HC in ND history and that is hard to do. If you wanted a RAH RAH coach you should have went to Penn State and hired J Franklin away. Great guy, great recruiter... can't win a big game and is a terrible game time coach. When we have to fire this pretender Swarbrick has to go too. How many stupid hires do you get!!!... BTW we have not heard a quaking note from the SEC, Michigan , or OSU they will still kick our asses but we can be happy that the players like him........ laughable

[@sparkythomas6354]

Marcus makes it hard for me to hate ND!

[@tblightningbolt8902]

0-3

[@son0fsocal]

This will not work. He’s under qualified. it’s going to be Bob Davey all over agin.

[@A100-y2c]

I think it will be more like Fickell at Cinn, how much HC experience did he have?

[@chrisdurrah7787]

Don't think so AL. This guy can run backwards and lap Bob Davie twice. You can tell he's well prepared and seems like he already knows the answer to the problems before the problem even manifest itself. Recruiting is college footballs life line and this guy is going to attract the young talent.

[@michaelmcgee2026]

Will work better than that handlebar mustache and soul patch. 💯

[@27MOJOKING]

@@A100-y2c cincy is not ND. First time HC have always failed at ND. Before hiring Kelly, HC experience was a requirement on their list

[@lwivv9052]

His profile is similar to Davie's. But it's also a very different era nowadays. More and more coaches just step into their first role. Dabo Swinney was never a head coach before Clemson. Neither was Lincoln Riley before OU. Those are a couple blue blood programs too.
