If not for his college head coach giving advice, Marcus Freeman very possibly could have been coaching at LSU and not Notre Dame.
Imagine for a second that after Ed Orgeron was let go at LSU that defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman took the post as LSU head coach.Then perhaps you should thank former Ohio State head coach Jim Tressel. Had it not been for a late night phone call in late 2020 to Tressel, Freeman was extremely interested in taking an offer to be the defensive coordinator at LSU that off-season, instead of at Notre Dame.
"I remember my wife talking to me after our conversation and there are very few people that I trust to talk to about something like that and you're one of them," Freeman told Tressel, "I thought at the beginning he was telling me to go to LSU but I don't know, by the end I thought he was telling me Notre Dame was the right place".
A choice that the Freeman family might not have seen as clearly if not for the friendly guidance of Tressel.The outlook for Notre Dame football under Marcus Freeman wasn't always sunshine and daisies like it largely feels like entering his third season. Just three games into his run enough frustration to fill a warehouse hit Notre Dame.
"I knew that when I came in on Sunday that I had to come into that meeting that I had the confidence that I had the answers," said Freeman, "Here's why we didn't have success, here's what we didn't do, now let's double down and go back to work" "If you listen to the opinions of people you'd never take advice from then you've lost confidence in yourself".Freeman has been at Notre Dame longer already without Brian Kelly than he was with Kelly. Despite that, Freeman clearly took away some important lessons from his one season under Notre Dame's all-time winningest head football coach.
