Marcus Freeman could draw NFL interest as Jets consider coaching changes
Summary

Marcus Freeman, head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish, may be in line for an NFL coaching position as early as 2027. With current Jets head coach Aaron Glenn's job in jeopardy, Freeman is viewed as a strong candidate due to previous interest from NFL teams like the New York Giants. Despite this potential opportunity, sources indicate Freeman is focused on winning a national championship at Notre Dame before making any moves to the professional level. Insiders suggest that Freeman’s future choices could become clearer with his team's performance this fall, particularly with the prospect of dual-threat QB CJ Carr leading the squad.
