Freeman is first ND HC to ever have two 0-2 starts.
So, there's that.

The asinine scheduling isn't helping him.
Who the fuck plays two top 15 teams.
The biggest dumbasses in CFB, that's who.
Don’t disagree, but win one of 2 then win out & we’re in the playoffs

No other team does this shit.
Two buzzsaws to open the season.
It's completely stupid.
It’s completely idiotic but front-loaded schedules may be the cost of independence
If so then we need to do as much as possible to schedule games to maximize chance of winning not a top ACc and SEC team back to back.
I don't buy that.
You can't tell me that the athletic dept. can't figure a way to schedule teams ND typically plays with a couple heavyweights mid-season instead of opening with two top 15 teams. Move fucking teams like Purdue, Mich. St, Boston College, Pttt up to the front. ND has scheduled like clowns for years.
Nebraska is 3-0 with essential scrimmages in their last two games before they play Michigan Saturday. They use the schedule to their advantage. ND schedules themselves and uphill mountain every fucking year.
He seems to recognize & address mistakes but the mistakes w/b avoided by an experienced coach

I think you can win with Freeman, but he needs the right coordinators.
He doesn't seem much of a strategist, lacks some foresight. Great recruiter. But he waits too long to make necessary changes.
You can live with Denbrock. But, at this point Freeman needs to take over that D. If he doesn't want to tell anyone, fine. Let Ash save face. But it's that or Freeman stays in the frying pan. Ash has proven completely incapable. Blame the players if they want, but the talent is there. If it's not executing that's on the coach.
You wonder at what point the AD steps in. I hope Freeman rights the ship,l and ND wins the national championship, but how long can we allow him to do too little too late?
Freeman needs to be managed, not because he is reckless but because he lacks experience
Strikes me as a principled person, but you can be principled and act to address problems quickly.
He also has record for most Top 25 wins his first 3 years

...and losses to NIU and Marshall.
And losing to OSU with 10 men on the field...
He's on training wheels.
