Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman pours cold water on NFL again: 'Everything I need can be achieved right here'

Marcus Freeman has been a hot name around the NFL market, despite not taking an interview with anybody.

Nine head coaching gigs are open, with the most recent being the Pittsburgh Steelers' after Mike Tomlin stepped down Tuesday.

With Freeman's success in South Bend, it's understandable why he'd be a topic of conversation in NFL circles.

But it does not seem like he wants to be.

When asked about the job opportunities in the NFL, Freeman reiterated his intention to stay with Notre Dame.

"I don't need to come out with a statement every time one of these job openings happens. Everything I want and everything I need can be achieved right here at Notre Dame," Freeman told reporters Wednesday.

Just before the new year, when rumors were hot and heavy, Freeman took to X to reaffirm his commitment to the Fighting Irish.

"2026… run it back. Go Irish," he posted to X, along with a shamrock emoji.

Earlier this week, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reported that Freeman "still looms large in the NFL coaching carousel." John Harbaugh and Kevin Stefanski are considered the most highly touted candidates.

Freeman joined Notre Dame in 2021 after Brian Kelly's departure to LSU. He has gone 43-12 and got to the National Championship game last season.

The Irish narrowly missed out on the College Football Playoff this year in a controversial decision by the committee.

Casey Anthony calls Minneapolis ICE shooting a crime, rips JD Vance for protecting ‘Gestapo’ agents

The ICE-involved shooting in Minneapolis has drawn national attention, and now a controversial public figure is weighing in.

Casey Anthony, often referred to as "America’s most hated mom," criticized federal authorities in a recent Substack post addressed to Vice President JD Vance, accusing the administration of shielding ICE agents from accountability in the death of 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good.

"There is no such thing as a federal law-enforcement officer having immunity because it is convenient for you and this Administration," Anthony wrote. "This applies to your Gestapo agents in ICE."

She called the shooting a crime that should be investigated "as all other officer-involved crimes" and demanded the release of investigative reports and any available body-camera video.

Anthony accused federal officials of improperly keeping the case under federal review rather than allowing Minnesota authorities to take the lead. 

She also criticized the Department of Justice and accused the administration of misleading the public about the handling of the investigation.

"We are watching. We are holding our government officials accountable," Anthony wrote, arguing that federal law-enforcement agents should be held to the same standards as civilians. She referenced what she described as multiple recent shootings involving federal officers and questioned whether justice was being served for victims and their families.

The shooting occurred during a federal ICE enforcement operation in south Minneapolis, where an ICE agent fatally shot Good. Federal officials have maintained that the agent acted in self-defense after Good threatened officers during the operation with her vehicle, a characterization ICE says justified the use of deadly force.

State and local leaders, however, have raised questions about the incident and called for greater transparency, including the release of evidence and investigative materials.

Anthony, now 38, was acquitted in 2011 in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. A jury found her guilty of lying to law enforcement but not guilty of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter or aggravated child abuse. Caylee’s death remains unsolved.

Despite her acquittal, Anthony has remained a polarizing figure in American culture and has been the subject of multiple documentaries and television series in the years since the trial.

Fox News Digital reached out to Vance's office and Anthony's lawyer for comment.
