As he enters Year 3 of his tenure at Notre Dame, Head Coach Marcuse Freeman has reached a tipping point. Crushing losses and uneven performances overshadowed uplifting victories in his first two seasons. To Freeman’s credit, he has improved the roster in terms of talent and depth, and now enters the 2024 season at the helm of a squad with a high ceiling.
Freeman’s task was not a complete rebuild, though. The talent base is now good enough to compete with anyone, and his internal support from the University has reached a level not seen in several decades.
