Resumes don’t matter as much as rapport around Notre Dame, something Freeman has intentionally built with other coaches since he arrived.
in the national championship game, Freeman thought back to eavesdropping on Corrigan, how the Irish lacrosse coach had a sharpness in message worth importing to football. During preseason camp this month, Notre Dame football made “clarity equals velocity” a catchphrase. It’s not that Corrigan thought of it first as much as how he moved Freeman in that direction.
Jackson asks Freeman to talk to recruits. He asks him into the locker room postgame to talk to the current team. When Freeman did his first public interview after being announced as Notre Dame’s head coach, he did it in a No. 22 Notre Dame hockey jersey during intermission of a game against “The best way you learn is by doing. Sometimes by doing you make a mistake, and that’s how you learn,” Jackson said. “He’s in a much bigger high-profile situation than I was when I first started this. And so like, any mistakes you make, he’ll get recognized right away for it.”
“Yeah, sure, whatever,” Rockwell said to herself. “Then I got his number and we’re in contact a lot. It’s awesome. He has helped me tremendously, even after that initial interview process.” Of all the coaching spirits on campus, Freeman and Ivey may be the most kindred. The day of his introductory news conference, Freeman texted Ivey to start a connection. Basketball coaches attending football games is common, almost expected. But it’s never worked in reverse, until Freeman. He showed up to a home game against Connecticut last December.
“We really connected because I understand what that entails for him,” Ivey said. “It’s such a high-pressure job and the eyes are really on us, but really, really on him.”
