In a SB Nation Reacts survey, we asked fans if they thought Marcus Freeman would still be coaching Notre Dame Football five years from now. Despite a good amount of comments that suggested most of the fan base believes he will likely move on to the NFL before then — the survey shows that fans are a bit more optimistic about it all. Half of those surveyed believe Marcus Freeman will be coaching the Irish in five years.

During Marcus Freeman’s appearance on Good Morning Football, he addressed his possible interest in the NFL and his talks over the off-season. While it may seem like typical coach speak, Marcus saying that he was just looking for more information has a fair amount of honesty to it when you think about the type of person and coach he is.

You can judge for yourself.

So now that we have that out of the way…

THE BOWL GAME DECISION

It felt easy in the heat of the moment for Notre Dame fans to confidently back the decision by the Irish to opt out of the bowl game. The reasoning was sound, but after weeks of hearing nonsense and generally just missing Notre Dame football, I wouldn’t blame some fans if they second guessed the decision.

But… It looks like those fans were very much in the minority.

Notre Dame Women’s Basketball

The Irish got a win in its first ACC Tournament game, but most fans don’t think they can win the thing.

Maybe Notre Dame is somewhere in the “other” and maybe they’re not. Winning the ACC Tournament after the season they had, however, would feel like a massive thing — and something that could set them up much better in the NCAA Tournament. And oh by the way — according to FanDuel Sportsbook, the Irish are sitting at +25000 to win it all (just in case you were curious).
