LSU football is going head to head with Notre Dame for a highly coveted assistant coach.
LSU football has made Cincinnati Bearcats defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman their top target to replace Bo Pelini in Baton Rouge.
But the Tigers have competition for Freeman.
Freeman, who is set to interview with LSU on Thursday, has interviewed twice this week with the Irish (via Zoom and in person, according to 247Sports).
Early in the process, it appeared that Freeman was going to pass on defensive coordinator jobs and instead remain at Cincinnati while he waited on a head coaching gig.
