Another potential head coaching candidate for the Chicago Bears can be crossed off the list. Over the weekend, it was announced that Marcus Freeman has signed an extension with the University of Notre Dame.

Marcus Freeman wasn't even on Notre Dame fans minds a few short years ago but three years in and one extension later, appears the part of the next big thing under the Golden Dome.

Marcus Freeman joins Indiana coach Curt Cignetti (extended through 2032) and Purdue's Barry Odom (signed through 2030) in the long-term security club.
