00:00So Marcus Freeman, the head coach at Notre Dame, I want to be clear, he could coach my kids and my team any day of the week.
00:07I have a lot of respect for Marcus Freeman. I think he's a really good coach, right?
00:11Yeah.
00:12Marcus Freeman is coaching at the preeminent college in America for football, whether we like it or not, and I hate it.
00:19I hate Notre Dame with the passion of a thousand sons.
00:22But man, I like Marcus Freeman.
00:24Yeah.
00:25Marcus Freeman coaching Notre Dame made me lessen my dislike for Notre Dame.
00:29I agree with you.
00:30By two or three falls.
00:31I agree with you.
00:31Because he's a likable dude, and I like what he stands for.
00:35And by the way, he had one of the great recruiting classes in the last year and a half of any school in America, and half that recruiting class has the DNA of former NFL stars.
00:44All right?
00:45That being said, Marcus Freeman is now being mentioned as a frontrunner for the Penn State job and every other major job that's open.
00:53The other name is Lane Kiffin, because Lane Kiffin is like a Rolling Stone, right?
00:58He likes to move around a lot.
01:00My gut is he stays at Ole Miss.
01:01He makes a lot of money.
01:02His family's there.
01:03He's reunited with his wife.
01:05Why leave Ole Miss?
01:06You can compete every year at Ole Miss, right?
01:08But Marcus Freeman, if I'm Penn State, would I want him?
01:12100% yes.
01:13I think he's a badass coach.
01:14But when people talk about Marcus Freeman leaving Notre Dame for Penn State, it's like you're unwilling to actually do a teeny bit of research and open up a book or go online and find out his contractual status.
01:29Marcus Freeman is one of the 10 highest paid coaches in all of college football.
01:34He signed a four-year, $9 million-a-year extension literally in December of last year.
01:44The ink on that contract is barely dry.
01:48He signed it 10 months ago, and he's a top 10 paid coach in college football.
01:54If you're Marcus Freeman, Notre Dame recruits as good or better than any program in the country, and you're making more money than almost every coach in the country.
02:12Why would you leave Notre Dame for Penn State?
02:16It doesn't make sense.
