Notre Dame: Marcus Freeman ‘intrigued’ by NFL opportunity
While Notre Dame was grieving being left out of the College Football Playoff in December, head coach Marcus Freeman was linked to the New York Giants and Pittsburgh Steelers.
By the end of December, the Fighting Irish announced they restructured the contract of Freeman, and he skipped out of a busy NFL hiring cycle that included 10 head coaching jobs this offseason.
During an appearance on Cam Heyward’s ‘Not Just Football‘ podcast on Wednesday, Freeman told the Steelers defensive lineman that he was “intrigued” by NFL job opportunities but declined interviews because he’s happy where he is at Notre Dame.
“I listened (to NFL), I was intrigued (by) what the opportunity would be like in the NFL, and ultimately I declined to interview anywhere because … I needed to hear those things and talk to those teams to know I’m right where I’m supposed to be. And that’s the reality of it,” Freeman said, via a transcription from On3.
“Like, I wanted to talk to a couple of (NFL) teams just to say, ‘Ok, what are you looking for? What do you think is successful in the NFL?’ and again, it gave me an opportunity to sit down with my wife and think and pray and talk about it and say, ‘We’re right where we need to be.’”

Freeman told Heyward he hopes to retire from Notre Dame.
“I’m as happy and really fulfilled in the position that I hold,” Freeman said. “And, as I think about my future, the only way I think about is I want to retire one day from (Notre Dame). … But this is such a special place, I plan on being here a long time.”
Notre Dame is Freeman’s first head coaching opportunity. He’s 43–12 overall with the Irish, and led ND to an appearance in the national championship for the 2024 campaign.
Given Freeman’s success with Notre Dame, it appears the program will do everything they can monetarily to keep him from jumping ship to the league or another college program.
