BK to LSU is a very weird hire. LSU has a very very different school and football culture. Just don't see how BK will fit and thrive there but as we know BK is for sale to the highest bidder. Freeman just moved to South Bend so guessing he will be their interim because we know BK will leave his team high and dry for their bowl game.

Does Freeman move up to permanent HC at ND? It's an easy hire for them since he's there.

Does ND come down and flirt with Fick? Is Fick interested in that job? None of us know. We can assume the Fick fam is or isn't. We can assume the Fick fam has a $ they bolt for but none of us know. What we do know is the Fick fam has firstgrade twins, 9th grade twins on the verge of HS, a daughter in HS and a son on UC's current team. Their nephew is also a freshman on UC's team. Do you disrupt everything and make your kids start over in South Bend? South Bend is a craphole.

He just told a 4 star recruit straigh up he was staying at UC and that recruit committed. Is Fick a man of his word or is he another BK?
My money is on Fick stays at UC.

Just a thought, could Fick coach at ND and the family stay in Cincinnati?

I mean no. It's a 5 hour drive.

And a 40 min flight

Even so, why didn't he leave his family in Columbus then?

It'd be much easier to fly to Columbus as needed, then drive/fly from South Bend every weekend.

I'm not sure what you guys are even getting at.

given how close their family is I can not see Fick living in ND and his family staying here. It is hard enough for them to spend time together as it is. He squeezes in small amounts of time to be there for his kids in person. It is important to them all. They go to church together every week. If he is in South Bend and they are here that does not happen. No running in to watch wrestling practice, dinner with the fam at Montgomery Inn, driving daughter to school in the morning on the way to campus, etc. if h goes to South Bend Amy and the kids go too.

I think Fick would want to see Freeman get his chance and Freeman is already in South Bend.
