I don’t know him. Can’t be worse than some of the names being mentioned.

again...I would call Lovie Smith, just to see

 

[Risen Star]

Nailed it, Floaty.

A guy that I would be intrigued by would be Mike Elko from Texas A&M.

Freeman is a good, up and coming DC, but he runs a 3-3-5 defense. Not sure how well that would work in the NFL, especially in stopping the run. The Cowboys certainly don't have the personnel to run that scheme.

Zero chance this happens.

If that is his scheme, then HELL NO!!!!

Dan Quinn flying in this morning, so doesn't look like Freeman the guy unless it is going to be the DL coach and not DC.

No ****** way. I watched him totally blow as Illini HC and he had no desire left for the game. NONE.

You’ll take Quinn and learn to cope with it. Just like the rest of us.

fair enough. Wasn't aware of that actually. Thanks for the info.

It's really a base 3-4 and he has played multiple fronts.

It was reported that Kelly wouldn't have hired him if he only wanted/could play a 3-4 scheme as ND has largely recruited for a 4-3 scheme.
