I thought it went without saying that it’s too late to do anything this off-season

And the word “might” was used advisedly. Agree that we don’t know how good Freeman is without Fickell. The jury is also out on Coombs imho

This year will determine a lot

My relationship with Coombs was a roller coaster; I saw the light after the Clemson game for what he was going for, and then of course the wheels came completely off after Bama.

I think the two keys to making what Coombs is trying to do work at an elite level are lock down corners and a pass rush... I’m willing to give him some time to see what he can do with the incoming talent.

Say what you will about Freeman’s recruiting; the ‘21 and ‘22 DB classes Coombs is about to stack are next level and I’m sure he’s looking forward to a little help from them in running his preferred scheme.

Notre Dame's Brian Kelly may have slipped up and revealed who will follow him as the next Fighting Irish coach

Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly, 59, might have just made a slip of the tongue that could have revealed who will follow him as the head coach of the Irish. Kelly appeared on Episode 2 of NBC Sports' "Race in America: A Candid Conversation," and referenced Notre Dame defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman's coaching future at the 47:07-minute mark. (H/T to John Kennedy of Always Irish)

"My defensive coordinator is black, and he's going to be the next head coach," Kelly said while on a panel with Steph Curry, Dell Curry, Vince Carter, Jimmy Rollins, Justin Tuck, CC Sabathia and Kyle Rudolph. "This is not about color or race. This is about the things that he just talked about. Steph talked about the important things to be a CEO and understanding how to make people around you better."

It's unclear whether Kelly was referencing Freeman's future as a head coach in college football in general or if he meant that Freeman would ultimately be his successor at Notre Dame. No matter what he meant, Freeman is certainly and up-and-comer in the coaching industry. The former Ohio State linebacker joined the Ohio State staff as a graduate assistant in 2010 after spending one year in the NFL. He quickly moved up the coaching ladder to become the co-defensive coordinator at Purdue in 2016 and full-time defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Cincinnati from 2017-20.

The quote came in a segment of the show that focused on the hiring practices in athletics as a whole.

Just sayin': Kelly is just 59 so assuming he doesn't get fired; Freeman is likely to get some head coaching offers before the ND job becomes available.
