As soon as Freeman was announced as the team’s next head coach, Notre Dame’s locker room went into a frenzy. It was an awesome sight to see.

Freeman, 35, joined Notre Dame’s football program earlier this year as a defensive coordinator. Of course, he’s honored that he’ll be the head coach of one of the most prestigious programs in all of college football.
“It is an honor to be named the head coach of Notre Dame Football,” Freeman said in a press release. “I am eternally grateful to both Father Jenkins and [athletic director] Jack Swarbrick for giving me the opportunity to lead the exceptional men who make this program what it is. Notre Dame is a very special place and I look forward to pursuing a national championship with the most outstanding student-athletes, coaches and staff in college football.”
Freeman will have a chance to show what he can do as Notre Dame’s head coach in this year’s bowl game.
