Notre Dame continues to prep for the January 1 Fiesta Bowl as they’ll battle Oklahoma State in Marcus Freeman’s debut as head football coach. As the countdown to Christmas is in its final days the Irish seem hellbent on finishing the year 12-1.

The recently improved behind the scenes look that Notre Dame’s advanced media team has put together featured a close up of Marcus Freeman on Tuesday. Check it out below as Freeman starts the team’s day with a quick competition before getting after it on the practice field.

See the video below and see one of the unique powers that comes Freeman’s way now that he’s the head coach.

Marcus Freeman met the media as he was officially introduced as Notre Dame’s head football coach on Monday. One of Freeman’s greatest strengths is in his ability to communicate and connect with players and the recruiting benefits that come along with having those skills.

So not that he is the head coach and he’ll have to be dragged in countless directions and tend to things he never had to tend to as an assistant, will his emphasis on being such an important recruiter remain as high?

Try higher.
