I’m not sure how long Freeman is willing to wait, but one thing that people tend to forget is he is only 34 so he has plenty of time to be patient. He could remain a DC for another 5 years and still be considered extremely young to become a Head Coach.

Now I’m not saying that happens, but I just wanted to point out how young he is and how he can be patient.

Freeman won't last as DC at Cincy but I could definitely see him getting a MAC head coaching job after this season. So Cincy would represent a good stepping stone up if/when Fickell leaves. It's not like he's going to hop up to a P5 level HC offer after this season.

He is making more as the DC at Cincinnati than but one MAC coach. He is going to have much better opportunities than the MAC this off season. I hope he says but I can see some ACC and B10 schools taking a swipe for him.

Yea, that’s kind of the dilemma. He is at a point where he is making as much as our DC as he would for almost every MAC school and based on the current economic situation I don’t think MAC schools are going to be lining up to break the bank for a new Football coach.

He’s sort of in a strange position and since his goal is to become a HC it will be interesting how he ends up moving forward to prepare himself for that goal. That’s one reason I pointed out his age where he can be patient as he doesn’t have to rush into anything immediately.
