Marcus Freeman has been the subject of rumors linking him to the NFL, and the Notre Dame head coach addressed those at length in his Wednesday press conference.
Freeman labeled the NFL interest as a reflection of the Irish’s success. He has posted a 38-10 record in four seasons as Notre Dame’s head coach, taking his team to the College Football Playoff National Championship last year. Freeman explained what can be gained from NFL interest without taking the job.
“Individual recognition, individual success, NFL interest, those are all a reflection of team success and where this football program is,” Freean told reporters. “I’ve used some of the interest from the NFL to personally gain wisdom from some of the GMs or the front office executives that you get a chance to talk to. … I utilize these opportunities, through conversations, to gain knowledge myself to be the best head coach I can be of the Notre Dame football program.”
NFL interest leads to uncertainty, which can impact recruiting and the state of the fanbase. While reiterating that he’s happy at Nore Dame, Freeman also maintained that it’s a positive reflection of the program if he’s regularly on the radar for NFL clubs.
“Everything I want and everything that I need personally can be achieved right here as the head coach of this program,” Freeman said Wednesday. “I hope this is something we have to address every year. I really do, because it means we’re having a lot of success right here at Notre Dame.”
As to if he’d ever make the jump, Freeman didn’t completely close the door, but made clear he’s not interested at this time. A former NFL player, Freeman noted that he hasn’t coached at the pro level.
“Do I want to be? I don’t, really. I’ve never done it. I don’t know enough about it,” Freeman said. “Maybe sometime in the future, if it’s the right time and it’s what I think is right for me, then maybe I’ll pursue it, but I don’t love wasting time thinking about things that aren’t right in front of me. So, I don’t know what I’ll want in however much length of time. But I know right now that I am as convicted and motivated to being the best head coach of the Notre Dame football program as I can be.”
