In Marcus Freeman's first months as Notre Dame's head football coach , he had some tough words for Ohio State. After being hired in December 2021, Freeman, writing for the Players' Tribune , noted he regretted his decision to sign with Ohio State over Notre Dame as a college football player, playing linebacker for the Buckeyes from 2006-08. "I just thank God that I didn't make the wrong decision twice," he wrote. Heading into his second full season with the Fighting Irish, Freeman was asked to clarify those comments on "The Pivot" podcast, being asked by former NFL safety and podcast host Ryan Clark what Freeman was thinking about the backlash that came from "crazy" Ohio State fans.
