that said back channel comm had occurred and Fickle was interesting but wouldn't meet officially until after his bowl.
Swarbs made the panic hire to SAVE recruiting and appease the masses who were all pushing for the 'likeable' Freeman. Swarbs said there was no one else to make it public we got who we wanted. Same spin he pulled after he kicked the Ludwig hire into the stands.

- Even though he’s young and inexperienced as a coach I like Marcus. - irishfaninPA - 9:18am 9/9/24

- Isn’t that always the issue? [NT]

- When you have Kelly/Mark Richt, yes. When you have Freeman or Manny Diaz, there are better options. [NT]
- oldirish - 11:52am 9/9/24

- Even if ND goes 3-9 this year, I don’t see how ND can fire their 2nd Black coach after 3 years. [NT]

- Marcus is a good guy. So was Jerry Faust. But he’s paid to coach, and despite his goodness, he does - Sjnd5359 - 4:17pm 9/9/24
- Likely true. ND also shot itself in the foot by not removing other coaches after 3 years... - TakethetrainKnute - 1:00pm 9/9/24
