Predicted this a few days ago, saw it was likely earlier today. Big chance for him.

Lots of coaches with UK ties are rising fast. Good news for the program.

Man. Notre dame is entrusted a ton to HC and now OC. If they have so much money….go buy a surer coach

I don't know if he called plays at WVU or Brown did, but he got all the blame. ND being cheap is weird. Hopefully, it'll help us someway in recruiting.

Man that makes it even weirder. I knew if the wvu performance but the off field dui at East Carolina…I’d be pissed if UK did something like this…Notre Dame should be irate

It looks like a reach. There's apparently a close relationship between Freeman/Parker that goes back several years. Also talk ND will bring in Gino Guidugli, former Cincy QB and asst, as QB coach/passing game coordinator and probably co-OC. He went to Wisconsin with Fickell. Pretty stunning IMO that several high profile OCs passed on the job. Be interesting to see how long Freeman ultimately lasts.
