Following the abrupt departure of longtime head coach Brian Kelly, Notre Dame may have found its next leader.
The Irish are expected to offer defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman the head coaching position, according to SI's Ross Dellenger.
Per Dellenger, the offer has not yet been finalized, but it is expected to come in the next few days. An official announcement could come as early as this weekend.
Freeman, 35, joined the Notre Dame staff before the 2021 season after spending the previous four years as the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Cincinnati.
