Zaire Calls Freeman Superior Coach

Malik Zaire dropped a fiery take this week, declaring Marcus Freeman the superior coach over Miami’s Mario Cristobal—and he’s got stats to back it up. Freeman’s led Notre Dame to a 14-2 record and a CFP berth last year, followed by another strong 10-2 campaign this season. Zaire insists Miami’s win over Notre Dame last season wasn’t just luck—it was a “chance of a lifetime” that Miami seized. The game? A nail-biter, 27-24, with Miami dominating the clock, turnovers, and clutch plays—including a late field goal and game-ending sack. Zaire’s pushing back on the narrative that Notre Dame got shafted in that matchup. One game doesn’t define a career, but it did settle that specific rivalry—and it’s time to move on and focus on what’s next for both programs.
