Everyone remembers Jim Tressel from his coaching tenure at Ohio State from 2001 through 2010, and no one debates that the national-championship- winning coach is one of the best to ever put on a headset. Now he is tossing his hat into the podcasting ring.
On a recent episode of his newest podcast titled, “Its All About the Team,” Tressel had on former Buckeye linebacker and current Notre Dame head coach, Marcus Freeman. During the episode, they discuss Freeman’s coaching journey and an interesting tidbit was brought up in regard to a key decision that he was mulling over.
In 2020 Freeman was viewed as a hot up and coming defensive coordinator after dominating with Cincinnati for four seasons. He was offered coordinator positions at both LSU and Notre Dame. The two discussed how Tressel nudged Freeman into taking the gig in South Bend and the rest is history.
Huge thank you to @Marcus_Freeman1 for taking the time to make a trip to Ohio to talk TEAM! Cheering for your success at Notre Dame.
