I'm grateful he finished the rebuilding job that Charlie Weis started, but when it came time for him to step up to the next level, he bolted for 93 million reasons.

He got his 30 shekels of silver, we got a better coach who has truly elevated this program. The players absolutely love Coach Freeman, something that cannot be said about the players' relationship with Brian Kelly while he was here.

If he wants to visit the campus as a guest, or even attend a game in the general admissions area, I'm fine with that.

I just don't want him anywhere near our football program.

- Good riddance to that smug Boston-Irish prick! [NT] - NEPA Irish - 6:42pm 7/15/26
- Without Kelly, there is no Freeman or Denbrock. I don't like him, but he did a lot for the program. - Turkish - 4:50pm 7/15/26
  - Without Faust, there is no Holtz - Nigel Tufnel - 1:21pm 7/16/26
    - Not exactly. The Faust hire was a complete misfire, an unforced error. Faust didn't bring Holtz - TakethetrainKnute - 7:21pm 7/16/26
  - correct + I agree. Whatever Marcus wants, he is our man. [NT] - KWIRISH - 5:13pm 7/15/26

  - I thought he was a pretty good coach but he's got a lot of balls asking to "help". [NT] - THEISMANCARR - 12:13pm 7/15/26
    - Didn't that Northern Illinois coach want to help Marcus? [NT] - faircatchcorby - 12:20pm 7/17/26

    - Not sure how much his players liked him. I think we liked him less. He had some success - ndphysics - 10:24pm 7/14/26
      - The players that saw the field liked him. The bench sitters did not. Same all over . [NT] - ELP - 12:07am 7/15/26
        
        Manti Te'o was not a fan. [NT] - Clem - 11:01am 7/15/26
        
        IIRC, Manti prevented a player revolt against Kelly in yr2 or so. I am sure - BaronVonZemo - 12:26pm 7/15/26
        
        Te'o stepped up for the team [LINK] - ndunabomber - 4:24pm 7/15/26
        
        Yep, because of the "You can tell the players I recruited" comment. - Clem - 1:21pm 7/15/26
        
        Manti our guy. I sure was a fan of him. [NT] - ELP - 11:05am 7/15/26
      - He helped the program come back to a certain point…for a time… - TakethetrainKnute - 11:24pm 7/14/26
        
        As a Knicks fan, I agree. Do what needed to be done [NT] - ndphysics - 10:19am 7/15/26
- Hell no. - AlbanyIRISH - 8:37pm 7/14/26
  - I say NO but Marcus might feel different. [NT] - ELP - 10:14pm 7/14/26
