BREAKING NEWS: Marcus Freeman Resigns as Notre Dame Head Coach
In a stunning move, Marcus Freeman has submitted his resignation as head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team. This unexpected decision comes after Freeman led Notre Dame to a National Championship game in 2025, marking the program’s first appearance in the title game since 2012.
Freeman, who took over as head coach in 2021 following Brian Kelly’s departure, helped transform the Fighting Irish into a powerhouse. Under his leadership, Notre Dame enjoyed tremendous success, including a remarkable 14-2 season in 2024 and an appearance in the College Football Playoff.
The reasons behind Freeman’s resignation remain unclear, but sources indicate that he is stepping down to pursue other opportunities and spend more time with his family. His departure has shocked many, particularly given the success he achieved during his short tenure.
Notre Dame Athletic Director Pete Bevacqua had previously voiced strong support for Freeman, emphasizing his critical role in the program’s success. With Freeman under contract through 2030, the university will now face the challenge of finding a new head coach to continue the program’s upward trajectory.
Further details on Freeman’s resignation and the search for a new coach are expected in the coming days.
