Before I made a choice I would have called Holtz, Davie & Weis. I'd find out why it did & didn't work. Davie had some good defenses at ND and knew the ropes when Lou left. Charlie could flash those Super Bowl rings for recruiting and it did get him Clausen. Neither panned out. Just my opinion but I don't think you can come into Notre Dame without Head Coaching experience. I hope like hell Freeman can keep the program where it currently is but this is going to be a tall order. I'd have thrown out some money to try and get Matt Ruhle out of Carolina. He did more with less at Temple & Baylor. Matt Campbell would have been the safe pick. He played Oklahoma & Clemson tough. If Freeman can rely on Rees & Golden until he gets his feet wet he can ease into being a head coach. With all this said I haven't been this excited for a season to start in a long time. Kick ass Marcus. Win us a National Championship!
