00:00Marcus Freeman is going nowhere. Marcus Freeman, if you talk to people in soft

00:05band, is thriving at his dream job and he is exactly where he belongs. Marcus

00:13Freeman has done a good of a job in coaching this Notre Dame team as any

00:18coach in college football has this year. The Bears may want to talk to him. The

00:24Bears, I do know for a fact, have been thinking about this possibility for the

00:30last month or six weeks or whenever they fired Flusi, day after Thanksgiving.

00:34Marcus Freeman is somebody they have done due diligence on, big deal. They're

00:39not prying him away from South Bend. He makes nine million dollars a year,

00:43reportedly nine million dollars a year, to to coach Notre Dame. He's in the

00:51national championship game. He looks at this at the NFL. He's 39 years old. He may

00:59one day be a great NFL coach. He's not ready to take that step now. Conveniently,

01:04this story surfaced the morning after the Bears interviewed Ben Johnson, which

01:09makes me wonder how well that Ben Johnson interview might have gone or how

01:13poorly it might have gone. I think this was a change the subject leak. It

01:17certainly didn't come from Notre Dame. It certainly didn't come from Marcus

01:21Freeman, and I wonder who at Hal's Hall has in their best interest to

01:27let people know that they're gonna pursue the hottest coach in college

01:30football. Good luck with that. Not gonna happen.
