After Penn State fired James Franklin, it was a safe bet that Notre Dame football fans needed to gird their loins for talk about head coach Marcus Freeman at least getting a look. Despite some Irish insiders spending the last few days proclaiming there was no chance Freeman would leave South Bend for Happy Valley, the day is here.
According to On3's Pete Nakos, those inside Penn State expect the school to take some "big swings" during its head coaching search. Nakos specifically pointed to Freeman as one of the swings the Nittany Lions will take.
