I have my doubts about Freeman; he's never been a head coach, and has been at ND for less than 1 full season. He was not my first choice. However, the decision was made under very difficult circumstances with horrible timing. That part is past. I am optimistic about retaining the core of this coaching staff and so far, we don't see a mass exodus of recruits....so holding this class together is critical and I am optimistic about that as well. Beyond that....I want this team to make a statement in the bowl game, whatever it happens to be. Win or lose....take off the gloves and leave it all on the field.
