How Marcus Freeman’s Meteoric Rise Is Shaking Up College Football Coaching Rankings
Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman’s stock is at an all-time high.
After leading the Irish through the College Football Playoff and to the national championship game, Freeman is widely considered to be one of the best coaches in all of college football. And The Athletic’s latest coach rankings reflect that.
Although Freeman hasn’t won a national title (yet), Freeman has, according to The Athletic, made a big leap over the past year — one that has put him among the most elite coaches. Specifically, Freeman is ranked near the likes of Georgia’s Kirby Smart, Clemson’s Dabo Swinney, Ohio State’s Ryan Day, Alabama’s Kalen DeBoer, and his Notre Dame predecessor, Brian Kelly. Chris Vannini remarked that Freeman, who has moved up two tiers since last year’s edition of the rankings, as well as Kelly and DeBoer have each “won big but just hasn’t gotten over the final hump.”
