I think it's a big picture thing. If we fired Freeman today, one of our own, it would not be a good look. we need to give him 2 years.
Fire Freeman and Rees now!
- Thread starter Get Nasty
- Start date
He flat out said he didn’t know what’s going on
they’re just going to try different stuff and see if anything works
no questions or calling out the abysmal tackling?
Somehow it was a worse look for him than the product of his work on the field yesterday.
This guy is over and we are left to ride out Swarbricks patience until he moves to the next one.
Here you go! Though you may not want to do this to yourself. Try to maintain some optimism
He’s not one of our own, he’s an OSU moron
Rees is one of our own and he’s been given 6 years
Reporter asks why we struggle at home under freeman and freeman thinks reporter means the stadium itself and fans… Full on idiot
Ya it’s a really bad look. His body language is terrible and he doesn’t come across as being very bright
Im not sure most of this fan base will survive another dark age
I don't feel bad for anyone making more money in 1 year than basically anyone in this forum will make in their entire career. Particularly when you lose to freaking STANFORD!
ME!
I could lose to Marshall and Stanford for $200,000 a year and my sideline antics, along with my press conferences, would be entertaining.

Freeman is here for at least 3 years. Lets hope he can keep the recruiting class intact. This Freeman hire will set back ND at least 5-7 years from where BK left it. ND needs that next great hire.
He will be given at least three years, but his contract includes a buyout so they can get rid of him whenever they want without fear of a successful lawsuit. They would just have to pay the buyout price.
The media ripped ND to shreds when they let Ty go after 3 years. Firing Marcus after 1 or 2 years would be a media disaster.
Yup. Minimum 3 years. if recruits start to see lack of quality coaching and development I’m not sure the nice guy/best friend approach is going to matter.
It would be difficult to believe that the contract isn’t an “at will” contract giving ND the right to terminate the contract without cause, with a buyout provision.
Depends upon his record at the time of the firing.
Faust should have been fired sooner.
Here’s the dilemma that ND and other employers face.
If you fire a minority employee for cause or at will and you’re sued on the claim that the firing was racist in nature, why would an employer take the risk of hiring a minority employee in the first place ?
This dilemma exists in situations that extend to issues other than racism.
In the movie, “I’m all right Jack”, Peter Sellers, a union steward, when arbitrating with management, says words to the effect: “Since when is incompetence grounds for dismissal ?”
Sadly, it’s come to that.
The contract would provide that Freeman could be fired if Nd paid the buyout. The poster I was responding to said Nd would face a lawsuit if he was fired. Ia sked what could that be for other than breach of contract, which would fail because of the buyout clause.
I can’t imagine a non-cause situation where ND wouldn’t pay the buy-out amount.
You are quite right they would. My response was to a poster who wrote there would be a huge lawsuit if he was fired. There wouldn't be, ND would simply pay the buyout.
Lets rank your OP blunders
1. Recruiting crashing
2. Fire Freeman
3. Clemson Nd 2020
Marcus Freeman has more big wins in his first year than Kelly had in 12.
