  - Freeman's reactive nature is why he's a mediocre HC. - AlbanyIRISH - 7:43am 10/26/24
    - It's not that, it's his game decisions and not overriding play calling. The Ohio State game sticks - THEISMANCARR - 11:58am 10/26/24
    - Truthfully, we don't know what the finished product of MF will be as a HC yet.. - Chrisb - 9:25am 10/26/24
      - He may be a really good coach 2 or 3 jobs from now. He will take lessons learned from ND to a - Shadow_of_the_Dome - 10:28am 10/26/24
        Your implying he ain’t gonna cut it here…that he has to take such - WoodstockIrish - 10:41am 10/26/24
    - He's definitely not an impose your will kind of coach. His "Take what they give you" comment - LanceManion - 8:45am 10/26/24

    - This team is so up & down, we have no idea what to expect. A&M or NIU. - ELP - 8:29am 10/26/24
