ND charging back in picture with Freeman, makes hire

Freeman, per a source in Cincinnati with direct knowledge, had told his Bearcats’ linebackers Friday afternoon that he was departing and had chosen to accept LSU’s offer. Notre Dame sources had told FootballScoop earlier on Friday that the Irish appeared out of the mix to land Freeman, the Broyles Award semifinalist in 2020 after a third-straight season of stellar work atop the Bearcats’ defensive unit.

What I wanted to know was who the hell is Bob Hinton? What I found out is probably the reason Franklin is headed to ND. $$$$$$$$$$$$$


"University of Notre Dame alumnus Bob Hinton, from Ada, Michigan, has made a $5 million gift to his alma mater to endow the football team’s defensive coordinator position.

Hinton’s gift will help to underwrite the salary of the coach, provide stability and resources for the long term and create funds for use within the department."

Lol

Hinton’s gift marks the fourth Fighting Irish football endowed coaching position along with Brian Kelly, the Dick Corbett head coach; Chip Long, the John and Bobbie Arlotta Family offensive coordinator and Todd Lyght, the Pat and Jana Eilers Family defensive backs coach.

Urban is supposedly put together some of his staff even before he accepts the Jags gig. I’m very interested to hear who he’s assembled. ESPN stating some are from the college ranks. I’d assume all are. Maybe the guy that beat his wife. Who else would go with him? Any ideas?
