NOW: Marcus Freeman staying true to himself despite being named head coach

SOUTH BEND, Ind. -- It's been less than two weeks since Marcus Freeman was named the head football coach at Notre Dame. However, Freeman's promotion hasn't changed who he is, or how he coaches.

Freeman made it a point of emphasis when he first arrived to Notre Dame as a defensive coordinator to shake the hand and hug each player at the start of each practice. Since he's become head coach, Freeman's ritual has stayed the same.
