Newsstand: More honors for Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman
On Monday morning, Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman was named one of On3’s Power Five co-head coaches of the week for Week 7. And a few hours later, he earned more honors.
Freeman was selected as The Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week following the Irish’s blowout 48-20 victory over arch rival and previously unbeaten USC.
“It speaks volume to the type of coaching job Marcus Freeman has already done this season to have now received this honor twice,” said Jim Terry, chairman of the Bobby Dodd Coach of the Year Foundation, in a press release. “This was a Bobby Dodd-style win in every way, with success in offense, defense and special teams play.”
The Dodd Trophy Coach of the Week award honors a football coach who led his team to a significant victory during the previous week, while also embodying the award’s three pillars of scholarship, leadership and integrity.

“In his short time at Notre Dame, coach Freeman has already proven that he is an outstanding leader of men, both on and off the field,” said Peach Bowl, Inc. CEO & President, Gary Stokan. “It’s remarkable to see what he’s already been able to achieve in only two short seasons of being a head coach at one of the most storied programs in the country. We’re looking forward to seeing what additional milestones he reaches during his time in South Bend.”

“Be aggressive. Be aggressive. Roll guys. We want to roll guys. I told Coach (Al) Washington, when you see them sub, we need to roll our guys, get some fresh guys in there, roll them. We have to have relentless rushers against Caleb Williams, and we were able to do that and it was a whole group of guys that were able to really get pressure on him.”
