It’s no secret that coaches share information with others, and that might be the case for Notre Dame and Northern Illinois.
The Huskies are coming off an upset of the Irish in Notre Dame Stadium, and now it looks like the two coaches are exchanging information after an interview on Pardon My Take.
NIU head coach [autotag]Thomas Hammock[/autotag] told them that he’s been sharing information about Purdue with [autotag]Marcus Freeman[/autotag]. “I want him to do well, for obvious reasons, and just because we competed, don’t mean we can’t help each other or try to assist each other, to make each other better,” he told the podcast.
While the Huskies haven’t played Purdue since 2013, it highly unlikely what Hammock will help with would make much of a difference on the field this weekend. In my eyes, this has more to do with how to prepare your team, establishing culture and general coaching ideas.
It’s great to see the two form a friendship, although the Irish wish it was under different circumstances.
