In a massive win for Notre Dame and college football as a whole, Marcus Freeman has turned down multiple NFL head coaching opportunities to remain with the Irish. On Monday morning, Freeman informed two NFL franchises that had been in communication with him about their jobs that he was staying at Notre Dame, sources tell Sports Illustrated.
Notre Dame confirmed that Freeman has agreed to a restructured contract. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but his compensation is in the “top tier” of college coaches, a source says. Freeman signed a six-year contract last year, and this revised agreement adds one more year to the end, extending him through 2031.
