Miami Gardens, Florida – Press members who were excited to get an up-close look at the dapper head coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish at the CapitalOne Orange Bowl Casino Media Night & Media Party will have to find some other time to meet the dialed-in football coach. Based solely on body language interpretation, it would appear that Freeman will not be present for the fun Orange Bowl extracurricular activity.

“Dang it. I was really hoping coach Freeman would be there,” said Dan Le Batard, famous sports journalist and Miami native.

“I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t be making an appearance,” Le Batard said incredulously via iOS messages on Thursday. “Does he have somewhere else to be or something? What could be more important than Casino Night?!”

As of press time, it’s unclear if Penn State head coach James Franklin will be attending the event, as his demeanor as captured on the same video was not as conclusively appalled as Freeman’s.

Updates will be published as they are received.
