Notre Dame Fighting Irish defensive coordinator Al Golden is on the heels of an NFL job after the Fighting Irish lost to the Ohio State Buckeyes in the College Football Playoff national championship game Monday.

After the Notre Dame football team lost to Ohio State in the national title game, Marcus Freeman spoke on the future of the program.

Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman has never shied away from professing his love for his support system off the field: wife Joanna Freeman. Marcus and Joanna got married in 2010 after meeting while Marcus was a star linebacker at The Ohio State University.

Notre Dame football coach Marcus Freeman is shouldering the blame for the Irish 34-23 loss to Ohio State in Monday night's College Football Playoff National Championship. Notre Dame fell into a 24-point hole against the Buckeyes midway through the third quarter that Freeman said was the result of uncharacteristic mistakes in communication for which he takes all the blame.

Freeman, who is bi-racial with Black and South Korean parents, already staked a place as the first such head coach to lead a team to the national final.

Marcus Freeman once thought of becoming an athletics director before getting into coaching. On Monday, Freeman will coach Notre Dame in the CFP championship game.

Marcus Freeman made history Monday night becoming the first African American and Asian American to be a head coach in a National Championship college football game. However, for the third time, Freeman failed to win the championship.
