This is Ivers Illustrated Insider. It's February 8th. I'm Tim Priester with Tim O'Malley from Iroo

Illustrated and Pete Sampson from the Athletic. Notre Dame had a interview session last week.

Marcus Freeman, Brian Pullian, Tommy Reese, Mike Elston.

We heard from Brian Kelly.

We weren't allowed to ask him questions.

But a lot came out of that, right, Tim?

We've got plenty of stories.

You're going to say, I got one more to bleed out of polion, Jack, a little later.

Yeah, I think I'll be bleeding a few more out of that.

But, you know, it's beneficial. It's good to get a chance to talk to

Marcus Freeman, talk to him about his philosophy, talk to him about terminology with positions.

Let's start with him and what your impressions guys were of him. I thought Freeman was outstanding.

I think you saw kind of everything that would lead you to believe is going to be a great recruiter, easy to relate to with players.

I think easy to relate to with fans, if that matters, you know, saying that, you know, every day you find out how special or unique this place is.

You can get anybody on the phone that you want as far as a prospect goes.

I mean, I think it just sort of backed up what people probably telling you guys,

telling me over the last month that, one, you're going to love this guy, and he's going to be a huge hit at Notre Dame.

I think this is a good time to remind everybody when they say, do we want to bring in someone for Marcus Freeman because he obviously wants to be a head coach?

Remember this moment when he walks in, gets Tyson Ford to commit.

Everyone already loves him.

He's going to be a good defensive coordinator.

It'll be a head coach someday.
