Newsstand: What Micah Shrewsberry told Notre Dame football team after practice
Micah Shrewsberry and his family arrived on campus Friday evening, just hours after he was officially announced as Notre Dame men’s basketball coach. He made a stop to visit the school’s flagship team less than a day after arriving.
Shrewsberry was at Notre Dame football practice Saturday morning and spoke to the team afterward. He’s not just an Indiana native who’s now working in his home state. He’s coaching at the school with the football team he grew up watching.
“I’m from Indiana,” Shrewsberry told the team after Saturday’s practice. “I grew up in Indiana. Coached most of my life here. It’s exciting for me to be back. But I told Coach (Marcus Freeman) the other day, I love college football. I don’t watch the NFL at all. I love college football. But I grew up a Notre Dame football fan. You don’t know how many games Saturday afternoon I sat on the couch and turned it to NBC to watch it. I’m excited to be here. I’m excited to be around and watch you guys and be here at Notre Dame.”
