Also not ideal when your first game is versus Ohio State -- on the road, in Columbus, Week 1 at night

The only two times I ever rooted for tO$U was when they played Notre Shame about twenty years ago. I will be a big fan of tO$U in week 1 of the 2022 season. tO$U will annihilate NS and make Freeman eat his words.

He has been running his mouth since he got the job. I guess his defense being trashed by the cats has given him insecurity. Look CLF coached him a tOSU (not a word said about others) and gave him a chance after the Purdue coaches were canned. What a gracious way of thanking CLF and the university which gave him a chance. Yahoo has the article by the Columbus NP.

Never a good idea to burn bridges behind you. Especially in the profession he finds himself

Liked him when he was here.

Have never liked Notre Dame.

Many have said Notre Dame is more likeable now / want to support him at Notre Dame.

But whether these comments were made or not, it's still Notre Dame -- don't care for them one bit.

an excellent quote from tOSU forum:
a first time head coach, but this is another unprofessional, unforced error.

Freeman, you can speak well of your current school without publicly denigrating other schools you were previously associated with. Learn to act with some class.

According to a tOSY web sitequoting CBS sports this guy took a shot at both UC and tOSU.

"I'm not saying from top to bottom, but the majority of our kids, they -- I want to say this the right way -- are pushed to learn and their study habits are formulated every day. You can't cheat academics at Notre Dame."

To make his point, Freeman brought up the two most significant football stops in this career before coming to Notre Dame in 2021. At Ohio State, Freeman played defensive back for Tressel, eventually becoming a fifth-round NFL Draft choice of the Chicago Bears. At Cincinnati, he earned a reputation as one of the nation's best defensive coordinators.

"You don't go to class [at places like that]?" Freeman said rhetorically. "OK, take some online classes, show up for your appointments. At Notre Dame, you're forced every day to go to class."

If true, he was a major part of both. Things have gone to his head. Perhaps he is making excuses for the beatings he got and will be a part of at ND.
