One of the biggest rivals Notre Dame has ever had considers himself a fan of Fighting Irish head coach Marcus Freeman.

Is Marcus Freeman a candidate for the Chicago Bears opening? Here's everything to know about the NFL rumors surrounding Notre Dame's head coach:

There’s a history of Cincinnati influence in South Bend, including Kelly, who spent three seasons with the Bearcats before taking the Notre Dame job. A year before Kelly poached Freeman, he hired Bearcats defensive backs coach Mike Mickens, a Cincinnati alum who was a teammate of Freeman’s at Wayne High School outside of Dayton.

Former Notre Dame offensive lineman Mike Golic Jr. wants the Bears to stay away from Freeman while he's preparing for the Buckeyes. Golic, who played for the Irish when they last played for a national championship during the 2012 season, called the Bears "home wreckers" during an episode of "Gojo and Golic."
