Yet, when No. 9 Notre Dame (7-2) faces No. 23 Pittsburgh (7-2) at Acrisure Stadium (Noon, ABC), there will be chatter beyond what happens after kickoff.<\/p>\n<p>Freeman didn\u2019t take the bait earlier this week when asked about his position on independence after Texas Tech head coach Joey McGuire zinged Notre Dame last weekend. He didn\u2019t have much to say about job prospects outside of Notre Dame either, even as he continues to pop up on hot boards and speculative lists around college football and the NFL. Freeman signed a lucrative contract extension with Notre Dame less than a year ago.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m sure I\u2019ve said before, like just because somebody else might be saying my name\u2019s up for whatever job or being considered, that isn\u2019t the noise that I\u2019m going to put in my head or I need, that ain\u2019t my noise,\u201d Freeman said.  \u201cAnd so, I can address it directly, indirectly. If I\u2019m going to spend time talking about something like that, I\u2019ve got to make sure it\u2019s in a way that it\u2019s beneficial for the players, right?
