He connects well with college athletes. He seems to enjoy the Notre Dame experience and recruiting athletes to be a part of it.
NFL coaches have less control. The business and rosters are controlled by the front office.
Not saying Freeman doesn’t have the right stuff to be a successful NFL coach. Just saying college and particularly Notre Dame, seems like a much more natural fit for Freeman.
