The ND fanbase loves Marcus Freeman unlike any other coach since Lou Holtz and in some ways greater. It was never about who the pick was for OC but more so the feeling that the current ND Admin doesn’t have Freeman’s back. It should be up to the HC who gets hired for a position..

This is actually easy to figure out. It’s 100% because Freeman is the coach at Notre Dame. People outside of ND aren’t aware of or care about the anti-ND bias that goes on in the sports world/media. If Freeman is at most other big named schools he gets the recognition he deserves
