Hes got these kids ready to run through a wall to fight a fire with just a mouth full of spit, he has that... it factor for coaching.
Congrats ND. One of the greatest, nail biters in history! Also, to the Penn, great season. I know it hurts. Great season. Just a flip of the coin. Respect.
UGA fan. I’m rooting for y’all. When we won the National Championship back in 2021, we hadn’t one since 1981. It felt truly surreal. Like winning the lottery. I never actually believed we would win one in my lifetime deep down.
Go Irish & Coach Freeman. I am half Italian and half Irish and a lifelong Notre Dame Fan, Coach Freeman was am amazing football player when he played for Ohio State and he is amazing Coach. He has taught this team the true meaning of brotherhood and we win as a team and loose as a team. When the chips are down trust in God and he will raise you to your feet always. He has also taught them that everyone on this team has each other's back. Coach Freeman and this team is the true meaning of FIGHTING IRISH!!!!
i know NCAA is hating Notre Dame right now because no conference is represented. BTW, set a record for 7 wins against ranked teams in a season. OUR LADY OF VICTORY........
Yet they dog our strength of schedule every chance they get! They're such haters! I love this team and Coach Freeman! We had a flu outbreak in the last 48 hrs, key injuries and no excuses! We just find a way to get it done! That second int PI call was crap! He didn't turn around to look for the ball but never made contact either. The 1st was a good call, no complaints! But that second one was bad IMO . The at 12:20 on a decent pass play for them the right DE got held so bad and no call. They tried to steal it away from us but couldn't! Nothing but respect for Penn St and their fans! Great game, and great season!
@@LaStOnE_leFtI'm a ND fan and I thought the same thing,but if you look closer his body made contact with the te,but they held it together and won,Goooooo Irish
That was well said coach, is not about being the first black coach, but about the young men's playing hard and giving their all to win! Congrats Fighting Irish!
"Im the one that got us in that position/hole" Eventhough I criticize Leonard for not being perfect as everyone says, I have lots of respect for being so honest, he acknowledged his responsibility, mistakes and corrected it and gave credit where it was deserved
This was a historic moment for the Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team, most wins in school history and they are headed to Atlanta to play for a national championship. They continue to prove all the doubters wrong🎉
The Irish "shook down the thunder from the sky"!☘️"Cheer, cheer for old Notre Dame, Wake up the echoes cheering her name! Send a volley cheer on high, Shake down the thunder from the sky!" 🏈👏
I just said the same thing. These reporters say the things that will get them the most clicks. The man’s mom is Korean. He responded to the question perfectly. After his last win they did the same thing , and he responded by shouting out his mom and pointing out that he is also Korean. You can see that he’s getting tired of them always pushing that line. Congratulations Norte Dame!
As a black man, i have to say, she just had to ask that stupid question. And I'm glad he responded that he did. It's been too long for Notre Dame! Woooooo congratulations
@Woody-q5u they've never brought up his Asian side. Only his black half. And she "HAD" to bring it up? GTFOOH with that BS 😆. You saw how annoyed he was with being asked that TWICE. And he corrected them TWICE. You're obviously young and have probably never lived thru racism to be annoyed about being defined by your race over and over. His race didn't get him there. His hard work and accomplishments did. As someone who grew up in the 70s and lived thru the Klan, skinheads and such, constantly being only seen by your race, is hate.
Thank god freeman is our coach he is 5-1 in bowl games in his third season as coach and we will win the national championship on 20 January, this will definitely help notre dame recruiting
Hey Dawg fan, I love seeing classy fans from UGA. You guys seem to have a high percentage of classy fans. Shoutout to you Dawgs, you're gonna be scary next year too. Saw the work you've been doing in the portal and obviously top recruiting class.
Isn’t he also the first Asian coach to make it to a national championship game? They won’t mention that because it will not give them as much attention. These reporters are so predictable. The man’s dad is black and his mom is Korean (I think). Why should it be about race at all. He responded perfectly.
Literally espn has to bring up people’s color..coach said it best, it’s not about me it’s about us! How about do not judge a person by their skin rather then their character and he has great character! Stop focusing on skin color ESPN!!
In some ways this match was like David vs Goliath and pride vs humbleness congratulations to Notre Dame for really fighting for the victory thanks to God for helping them
Well deserved! Boys never wavered a NFC made it happen. Coach Freeman get your flowers brotha. First Black Coach to take a team to a national championship! Your accomplishment matters along with The resilient play by the squad! Let’s go ND we in there ☘️🔥☘️🔥☘️🔥☘️🔥☘️🔥☘️
Jitter should be the offensive player of the game, he was the game winner under so much pressure, if he had missed the winning FG and they would have gone to OT, PSU would have won
What a great game! Great coaches to get these young men ready for a battle!! Too bad whoever this woman is had to make it about race😡 This young coach is a class act!! Go Irish!!
This fighting Irish go beyond strong and they want to be stronger and they will not settle for anything else their minds are focus in that moto we can be stronger in Jesus name amen
So slavery was established for 284 years by date of history 1492-1776. From 1776-2024 it has been 248 years. Remember, if you had over so much African blood your were considered Black. Looks like you have 36 more years before people will change I guess.
Why is his skin color brought up ? Because hes a black coach? Its not about him , its about the team!!! Nobody has ever said , oh york is the first European to take a team to the show 😂😂😂😂 stop that bs!!
As an ND fan I have genuinely never said this about an opposing QB - especially one I had a predisposed opinion on - but hes a dog man. I'm sorry for the pain it causes yalls fanbase but you'll be back. God Willing. Go Irish.
The Coach, the Coaches, the players, the supporters... a class act.
Imagine being an LSU fan realizing Brian Kelly was what was holding Notre Dame back the whole time
Well put.
Ha ha
Yes, sir. He was a fraud at Notre Dame but I’m happy that he was smart enough do whatever it takes to hire Marcus Freeman
did Kelly have the portal and NIL to work with? 13 points around the halftime vs. Georgia were all due to transfer portal players.
I think Marcus Freeman is the best representative of the new era coaches.
Coach Freeman is a class act!
Facts
Truth
Notre Dame playing in the title game is excellent for college football.
Only if you’re an ND fan
@Lleed989
Not really - even McAfee in his program of a few days ago gave a shout out for the Teams Faith
@@Jleed989the powers controlling the sport would disagree w you, well except the B1G and SEC commissioners eating crow 😂
I remember 1988 when ND beat WVU for the title but was sorry to see QB Major Harris injured.
Only took three years for Marcus Freeman to take Notre Dame to the national championship game.
Dang impressive.

I know Brian Kelly is disgusted right now
TBF, Kelly took them to the NCG in year 3. Granted, it was back when they just had to not lose every game.
Having Nick Saven retired helped alot , if not Alabama would be playing for the national championship
Congratulations Notre Dame they really kept fighting and won a really good game...
Congrats ND. One of the greatest, nail biters in history! Also, to the Penn, great season. I know it hurts. Great season. Just a flip of the coin. Respect.
So happy for Marcus Freeman and the IRISH!. Dude is an AWESOME Guy, great coach and teacher. The future of ND is in good hands.
I love how the coach deflects race. They keep bringing it and he cares more about the team. What a classy man
Shoutout tio Steve Angelie you stepped in and drove the team down the field. You put the team on your back and showed what teamwork is all about.
Both Coach Freeman and Riley Leonard gave credit to the team, they are truly class acts.
Hopefully to win their 1st national championship since 1988 (season)
Thats going to be hard vs OSU

Brian Kelly is purple face tonight. He said ND doesn’t have the resources and culture to win. Well eat some crow, coach.
This teams culture is what got them here. Something you can't coach, and that showed with Kelly's coaching... He wasn't in it
How about that ND secondary just wow
Why do they have to say the " first black head coach" when he is half korean?. He is also the first asian head coach
Yea the fact that fact is so disrespectful
Riley Leonard reminds me of river Phoenix when he played chris chambers in stand by me 😭
It is nice to see Syracuse lend their mascot for the postgame celebration.
ESPN goes woke. So bad.why the labeling? He is a great coach. Period.
Totally Love it. South Bend Baby. Irish ☘️ Rocks! Now, on to beat Ohio State. If not Texas But yeah the Buckeyes bring it on!!!

If i hear "the first black coach" one more time, i swear. He 1000% is not black. Half is half, simple.
@LooseCannon-s8f black NFL player are saying it too. They all forget he is half Korean.
So slavery was established for 284 years by date of history 1492-1776. From 1776-2024 it has been 248 years. Remember, if you had over so much African blood your were considered Black. Looks like you have 36 more years before people will change I guess.
