It's not official yet, but Sports Illustrated's Ross Dellenger is reporting that Notre Dame is expected to offer defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman the head coaching job.
Freeman, 35, was hired as Notre Dame's defensive coordinator before the start of the 2021 season. Before receiving that job, he was the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Cincinnati.
Former Notre Dame quarterback Joe Theismann shared his thoughts on the latest report linking Freeman to his alma mater's job opening. His reaction to the news was positive.
“Congratulations to coach Freeman,” Theismann tweeted on Wednesday night.
