A jumbo pack of Trident Vibes chewing gum sits on the floor in the back seat of Marcus Freeman’s Escalade, evidence of a commitment to keeping his breath minty fresh at all times. When you see someone every 10 feet on the Notre Dame campus wanting to interact with you, this is important. The coach of the Fighting Irish can’t walk around blowing stale breath on the public, can he?
Small courtesies such as this might not have been top of mind for Freeman’s predecessor.
