It’s BS you just said so why say it. You know who doesn’t say it great coaches. You can stoke your fans better ways.

Im with you, but he’s a 1st year HC, he has time to be great. Young coaches don’t have many ways to stoke fans with only 1 game left and then the off season.
This is a big nothing sandwich that will sell subs and rile up some OSU fans

Meh, he said what he said to stoke his fanBase. It’s what coaches do, who cares.

“I wanted to address one more thing before we go open up for questions,” Freeman said. My feelings on Ohio State. I want to make sure to be very clear that the relationships, the time that I spent in Columbus have impacted me and had relationships that I built that will be with me for the rest of my life. I’m very passionate about being the head coach here, but in no way do I want to diminish my time in Columbus and the impact that time has made on me. So, I want to make sure I’m clear about that.”

Good on Freeman to clear this up. He didn’t go into why he made the comments, and we’re sure many OSU fans and players would like to get more on that, but he’s his own guy and doesn’t feel the need. At least he felt it necessary to address how his comments were taken and how he really feels about Ohio State and his time there.

I’m glad he said something, but using words like “the relationships, the time I spent in Columbus have impacted me” and relationships “will be with me for the rest of my life” wasn’t exactly going out of the way to make it sound like a positive experience.

It’s basically saying, “I was there, it had an effect on me”. You could say that about anything.

Try something like this, Marcus: “I had a great experience in Columbus, my time there played a huge role in making me the person I am now.”

Then you can move on. Was that difficult?

Not smart to burn bridges when you just took a job that rivals USC and Texas as a coaching graveyard. Body Kount was the first coach to leave on his own terms since Parsegian. Freeman could very wellbe a 3 and done looking for a DC job. Not smart to burn bridges.

Well, at least he said something. He didn't have to. I still think he realized after the fact that he went too far with his comments and got a lot of bashlash afterwards bc of it so he felt the need to back track his comments a bit. Still not a fan, but he's no longer dead to me.

*damn, Billy Madison serial killer gif crossing Freeman off the "people to kill" list wouldn't load......lol
