Top 3 NFL HC fits for Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman ft. New Jets
Marcus Freeman has done what no Notre Dame head coach has done in quite a while: reach a national title game. And while he lost on Monday to the Ohio State Buckeyes, the magnitude of that run should impress general managers in the NFL.
His defensive prowess cannot be underestimated: with him at the helm, the Fighting Irish were among the top defensive teams in college football, placing within the Top 10 in multiple areas, including having the most forced fumbles and interception return touchdowns.
And such dominance should attract the interest of several NFL teams.
Here's a closer look at three teams that could be potential fits for Marcus Freeman to take over as head coach.

#3. Jacksonville Jaguars
The Jacksonville Jaguars have historically been a hard-nosed team centered around defense. The current Trent Baalke era has some potent weapons at its disposal: pass-rushing defensive ends Josh Hines-Allen and Travon Walker, play-stopping linebackers Foyesade Oluokun and Devin Lloyd and defensive backs Tyson Campbell and Andre Cisco.
That is a strong cast for Freeman to work with. And with the right offensive coordinator, he may even unlock Trevor Lawrence's potential.
