Says Pat Forde:

"Notre Dame confirmed that Freeman has agreed to a restructured contract. The terms of the deal were not disclosed, but his compensation is in the “top tier” of college coaches, a source says. Freeman signed a six-year contract last year, and this revised agreement adds one more year to the end, extending him through 2031."

"After being the surprising choice to replace Brian Kelly in late 2021, Freeman quickly won over the Notre Dame community and has become arguably the most accomplished coach in the sport under the age of 40.

The 39-year-old has a 43–12 record as coach of the Irish, with a second straight top 10 finish probable. His .782 winning percentage ranks sixth in school history. He is fourth—behind legends Knute Rockne, Frank Leahy and Ara Parseghian—among those who coached at least 50 games at the school. He went 24–4 in 2024 and ’25, the most wins in school history in a two-year span."

"Despite some early entries to the NFL, they should have a loaded roster for next season—the defense was very young, and 2026 will mark the first time in his Notre Dame tenure that Freeman has a returning starting quarterback in CJ Carr. The Irish also landed a consensus top-five recruiting class in the December signing period. They will carry a 10-game winning streak into next season."
