Notre Dame and Navy face off in Ireland, while USC hosts San Jose State, plus more live updates.
Marcus Freeman will kick off his second season as a head coach on Saturday when Notre Dame faces Navy in Dublin. And Jason Garrett will take the mic for his second season as NBC’s analyst for Notre Dame’s broadcast team from inside Aviva Stadium.
The Athletic caught up with Garrett this week to talk about his impressions of Notre Dame after visiting the Irish program earlier this month, how experience can benefit Sam Hartman and where Marcus Freeman will improve now that he’s no longer a “first-year head coach” on the sideline. You were out at Notre Dame’s open practice on Aug. 8 and you’ve been around to NFL camps, including the New York Jets. When you go out to these places, what are you looking for? Do you go into it looking for something specific?
My dad was a scout for years after he finished coaching in the NFL. And one of the things that he always told me is make sure you scout with your eyes, not with your ears. And I agree with that. I also think you got to scout with your ears. And certainly when you’re doing the job that I’m doing, you want to talk to people and ask questions and get background on coaches and players and just the pulse of the team and how camp is going. I just love football.
