Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman had some big personal news on Wednesday. His son, Vinny Freeman, announced that he is committing to Cornell. Vinny is one of the top-ranked high school wrestlers in the nation. Despite receiving several offers, he decided to commit to Cornell.

Following the news that Marcus Freeman's son had picked his college, analyst J.D. PicKell tweeted that he thinks Marcus will make a move and take the head coaching job at Cornell. This would be a truly shocking move because Cornell does not have a prestigious football program.

This comment drew the ire of many college football fans. Many flooded the comments section to tell PicKell how much they disagreed with his opinion on Marcus' future.

Other fans continued to comment on the situation on X, but many took the comment as a joke and responded as such.

Marcus Freeman congratulates Vinny Freeman on his commitment to Cornell

While J.D. PicKell and fans speculated over the possibility that Marcus Freeman could go to Cornell, the elder Freeman was focused on congratulating his son. He congratulated Vinny on X on Wednesday.

While Marcus Freeman is happy that his son committed to a prestigious wrestling program, he possibly won't follow him to Cornell. Despite J.D. PicKell suggesting he could go to Cornell, it would be a strange career move for Marcus. Notre Dame is one of the most prestigious football programs in the country, whereas Cornell is not even viewed as a football school.
