Summary
Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame’s head coach, opened up on the “Not Just Football” podcast about his NFL flirtations this offseason — including interest from the Giants and Steelers — but ultimately chose to stay and deepen his commitment to the program. Exploring those options helped him gain perspective and confirm Notre Dame is where he belongs. He declined interviews with any teams, instead learning from NFL executives to better understand his current role. His contract has since been restructured twice, now paying him over $11 million annually — placing him among the highest-paid college coaches. Freeman joked with former teammate Cam Heyward about not messing up his career, and while he admits the future is uncertain, his recent moves and words strongly signal he’s staying in South Bend for the long haul.
