He talks about the Notre Dame coach having time to grow and mature. Sorry, but it's Notre Dame. You should be grown and matured long before you get that job. It's not a training stop for coaches, it's the end game.
There is no more college sports. It's just the wild west free agency and the alumni with the money will buy championships. At least we have removed the myth of the student athlete. As much as i could give a rip about pro college sports I am happy for NIU.
As a lifelong Notre Dame fan, it’s nothing but a hat tip and respect for NIU. The better team on the field won that game. The problems are internal with the Irish, not with any opponents.
BLASTS if you mean praises then ok. Kind of a false headline. Tom Hammock showed a lot of class in every way. Loved his show of emotions after the game, and I'm an ND fan.
Yeah, I was gonna say. I'm an NIU fan and I've watched every possible interview ever. And. I haven't seen nothing but praise and respect for the ND program from Hammock. 😊
This coach kept a great sideline demeanor during that Irish game. Even after they got robbed on the 1st Down call, didn’t throw a tantrum ( like I would have ), just keep coaching and moved on to the next play.
He looked much more in control of things than Freeman was, and I like Freeman. But he looked like too much of a passenger during that game; the NIU coach was a driver.
Hate the loss as an ND fan (ND was a load of shit on Saturday) but as a college football fan overall pretty awesome coach. I hope NIU wins the MAC this year.
I love it when these g5 teams can grab a signature win. Especially against a top 10 team. Congrats to NIU! Just hate that the Irish are the ones to continue doling these out at home.
What an outstanding leader for young men!! I would have him as my head coach anytime! I’m sure next year he will have his choice of jobs. And I won’t be shocked if he stays at NIU for a little longer!
Coach,well done Sir on making history.its right up there in iconic upsets.was watching this live with my youngin and we both got a bit misty eyed.this is the Great stuff over the rest of today's muck.THANKYOU
A guy who always pulls for the underdog, seeing NIU and hearing coach Thomas Hammock makes my heart sing and fills me with inspriation. He is a Leader of MEN! Thank you coach Hammock and the lady luck always be on your side.
They did get robbed on the spot for sure. As a biased Irish fan I didn’t notice any other obvious missed calls. But anyone with eyes could see that it was a first down.
Dave Wannstedt also cave Coach Hammock some good props for the victory as well on Chicago radio this morning. I bet he got a bunch of phone calls today, so props to you and your producers, Jason, for getting him on.
You have to chalk up the win to team chemistry, scheming and fundamentals. NIU coaches put their team in a position to win and the players executed the plays. You have to believe that pound for pound, ND has a more talented program, but NIU played smart and to their full potential that game. Well done!
as a Michigan fan with a Notre dame fan younger brother I would like to thank NIU for the relentless memes and shit talking I have been able to send his way last weekend !
Alumni is plural. Are there more than one? If not you're an alumnus. I can't say anything cuz I'm a didn't go anywhere but I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express last night so maybe that helps. Not trying to be a smart ass...I heard my son that's 23 arguing with his 19 yr old brother about same thing. Latin...
Congrats! Had the pleasure of dealing with Coach Novak back in 2000 when I worked as a student in an SEC Media relations office. Class class guy. Hammock was on that team.
@@johnstarnes1925 I'm sorry y'alls thread got ruined. I wasn't trying to be anything other than talk friendly until this troll guy called me a Nazi and I went off. Don't read anything I wrote, it's pretty vile but warranted in his case. My apologies....
@@PastorOfMuppets74 Probably referring to being a grammar Nazi. Correcting strangers in a comment section is just viewed as trolling, especially when you know exactly what that person was saying.
Need more MEN like this. Most coaches only care about winning, lying to these young men about their NFL chances and not the men they become. I’m happy for him and his program.
Huge IRISH fan here...this one is going to hurt for a while. People are still laughing at me, but I can't really control that. People think we are a joke now, and it sucks. It is what it is, and hats off to Northern Illinois and their fans.
Lifelong ND fan here. Congrats to Coach Hammock. He was clearly the better coach that day. Freeman didn’t learn his lesson from the Marshall loss, and did not have the team prepared or ready. Infuriating loss for ND, but that’s what you get when you decide to overlook a considered underdog and don’t take it seriously. Props to the NIU team and coach for the win. Pure class☘️
Legitimately excited for NIU and the win.🎉 Hope all big schools and the referees, take note you’re on camera with multiple views and will be accountable.
Will they though? Who is actually holding them accountable? The people that could do so need the biggest brands to be winning and relevant to make the most money. Fans complaining about it makes no difference at all. At the end of the year it would be ESPN's worst nightmare to have underdogs in their college football playoff and the powers that be will do everything in their power throughout the season to make sure that doesn't happen and the biggest brands are in the playoff. I wish it were different. Do we really think NIU is a top 25 team? They needed to rank them that high so that Notre Dame wouldn't fall any further than they did in the poll. Having said that I would love for NIU to run the table and be the group of five representative in the playoff.
As a life long Fresno State Bulldog fan, I know how tough it is to compete with the big boys. I also know the thrill of knocking them down now and then. Congrats to NIU and go MAC!
I played D1 football and this guy is what a college coach should sound like. Great job Sir. Pride in your team and University, holding people accountable, creating young men and not just players. Great all around.
So happy for Coach Hammock and the players at NIU!! Great win!! On another note: how do you go beat a team on their home field, and still be ranked below them? Especially this early in the season 🤔🤔
I have heard that this channel is bad and the news is trash but after watching this I am thankful I did. Congrats coach!! And great job producing this video!
ND fan for life. But NIU deserved to win. They played hard. They played clean. ND got caught up in thinking they were better than they really are. Pulling for NIU to beat everyone now!
College sports needs more coaches like this.
He talks about the Notre Dame coach having time to grow and mature. Sorry, but it's Notre Dame. You should be grown and matured long before you get that job. It's not a training stop for coaches, it's the end game.

What, another over dramatic crybaby? 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
He's going to get offers from big schools after that win.
Team captain of NIU class of 94. I was blessed to be there and see it in person.
As a lifelong Notre Dame fan, it’s nothing but a hat tip and respect for NIU. The better team on the field won that game. The problems are internal with the Irish, not with any opponents.
In your opinion, what exactly are those problems?

Nothing but clickbait.
Wait....an overly political conservative channel....lied?! Absolutely unheard of.
@@demodiums7216 Similar to Demoncrats saying that Biden was mentally competent before being told to step aside.
@demodiums7216 this really isn't the video to talk about politics..😊
As you, I am a BSU grad, but… I was so excited to see this team and coach succeed on this stage. Thank you for a great interview.
This is how you build a team and a program.
Great interview Jason. Coach Hammock is a class act. This is how you lead young men and a football program. Wow what a breath of fresh air🙏🏽
This coach kept a great sideline demeanor during that Irish game. Even after they got robbed on the 1st Down call, didn’t throw a tantrum ( like I would have ), just keep coaching and moved on to the next play.
How could the ref miss that spot?
He looked much more in control of things than Freeman was, and I like Freeman. But he looked like too much of a passenger during that game; the NIU coach was a driver.

I happened to see this live and was very moved by this coach. It was a great scene.
I’m a Notre Dame fan, but I’ll be pulling for NIU as long as this coach is present
+1!
Yeah I'm a Boston College fan, and they beat us last year too on the road.
What an outstanding leader for young men!! I would have him as my head coach anytime! I’m sure next year he will have his choice of jobs. And I won’t be shocked if he stays at NIU for a little longer!
I bleed Husker red but I'm super pumped for NIU and Thomas Hammock. Congrats! wishing ya'll the best for the rest of your season!!!
I love this guy's approach to coaching and building a program. Congratulations on the big win.
Much respect coach
Great example 👍👍👍👍👍

Where is there?

As a Marshall fan who was in this exact same situation two years ago, I'll be pulling for Northern Illinois for the rest of the season.
Great video guys! Coach, good luck on the rest of your season. I hope you go undefeated.
I wish I had coaches like this! Well deserved win Coach! (from and Irish fan)
They did get robbed on the spot for sure. As a biased Irish fan I didn’t notice any other obvious missed calls. But anyone with eyes could see that it was a first down.
I thought the spot the Irish got against A&M was bad. But that one took the cake, Irish shouldn't even had a chance to potentially tie the game.
I didn't hear any blasting here. 🤔
It was all respect.
Awesome interview!
Great job coach,hats off to you and your team
Congratulations Coach so impressive, grow the team within. Not what we are doing at Notre Dame. Thank you for what college athletes should be. Special
Good HC and a good man. Keep it up Coach Hammock
classy coach love his attitude and compassion and deserves the best
That post-game interview was the best moment of the weekend.
As a Notre Dame Fan, it was some BS on that Spot, but the Best Team that Day WON CONGRATS COACH TO YOU AND YOUR TEAM!
Well said. I respect your classy statement.
This coach is a good man.. period
Finally, a MAN who is teaching others to become men. God bless him and everyone who does their part to make this place the best it can be.
Dave Wannstedt also cave Coach Hammock some good props for the victory as well on Chicago radio this morning. I bet he got a bunch of phone calls today, so props to you and your producers, Jason, for getting him on.

He said they have 39 seniors, the most in fbs...... thats key........ plus nd plays to the level of their competition

I'm a ND fan but congratulations to NIU on the win we needed that lost to wake us up.
As a Notre Dame fan, NIU was the better team all day. They earned the win, and their coach is class.
A great interview diminished by a stupid clickbait headline.
Class A coach right there. So is Marcus Freeman. Congrats NIU
Right about Hammock, wrong about Freeman.
Thanks for sharing! Congratulations on a job well done Coach Hammock. Go Huskies!
This is a gentleman coach. Great interview
Well spoken and i like what Dan said to him........ We are all suprised.... But he doesnt act like he was surprised they won. 🏆
Congrats Coach! Need more of you
Congratulations coach!
How bad does this make A&M look now...
Lol
Ask Notre Dame fans this. They are still holding on to that win against a SEC bottom feeder with every little bit of hope that they still have left.
@@rachet0708 who hurt you?
@@jameszeller2929 I'm not hurt in the least. Sounds like the truth hurts you. Which is normal for a Notre Dame fan.
Coach Hammock will be the head coach at Colorado next year.
so much class

Ok, he won me over. I’ll be pulling for the Huskies.
I've met coach Hammock before. Really good guy. He recruited and coached my cousin recently. This was a great win.
As a life long Fresno State Bulldog fan, I know how tough it is to compete with the big boys. I also know the thrill of knocking them down now and then. Congrats to NIU and go MAC!
Gotta check out the crazy NIU Fresno St game from the 90s when the NIU QB rushed for over 300 yards.
Great interview great coach he deserved that win over my ND

Jason, You doing click bare. Thomas Hammock PRAISED Coach Freeman. He spoke highly of Coach Freeman.
Clickbait headline! NIU coach blasts ND and Marcus Freeman. He did the opposite
I remember watching Coach when he played fb at Northern. He was a load. Congrats, NIU.
Go Huskies!
Change the title
I have heard that this channel is bad and the news is trash but after watching this I am thankful I did. Congrats coach!! And great job producing this video!
What a misleading headline....Coach Hammock said that Marcus Freeman was very gracious.....
I agree, was actually the complete opposite of the headline.
Huh? You may have to read the headline again.
@@jaredm730 Looks like Jason’s team changed the headline since yesterday. He originally said NUI Coach BLASTS Marcus Freeman.
ND fan here, congrats NIU on the win. We should have given this guy an opportunity.
This guy is AWESOME Jason!!!
Literally LOVE this Man. Im one White guy that would Run through a wall for this guy.
Did I miss the blasting or was it clickbait again
I’m a UIUC alum but it was great to see the NIU Huskies pull off a huge upset in South Bend. Salute 🫡✅
This dude is absolutely fantastic! I am now a big fan of his.
Good for this Coach and his program, a class act.
This coach is an absolute class act. Congrats to him and good luck to him in the future
You just cant post that title with this content man.
I still have the emotions! Wow! Go Huskies!
ND fan for life. But NIU deserved to win. They played hard. They played clean. ND got caught up in thinking they were better than they really are. Pulling for NIU to beat everyone now!
This is the kind of man I would want coaching my son 👍☝️
i went to NIU when coach hammock was a RB. literally ran into hit and thought i hit a wall. very nice guy and class act.
Very impressive man…👍🏻
Is that a clickbait title
nothing like clickbait on the title. expect nothing less from whitlock
Nice clickbait title
This coach is the coach coaches wish they were. This man is the man his players hope to be. Absolute respect.
The Notre Dame Fighting Huskies have finally found their new head coach. 💪
I attended the Marshall game and relived some of the same excitement while watching the end of this game.
Big Time schools schedule these games to pad their schedules every year. There is always a early season upset in these type of games.
I must’ve missed the part where he blasts Marcus Freeman.
I haven't finished listening yet but thought to myself, "This has GOT to be a sensationalized headline, because that's not NIU's coach."
@@aceboon4624 Jason Whitlock has a lot of clickbait titles. The NIU coach has nothing but respect for Marcus Freeman.
Ohio University grad here ('85). Go Huskies!!!
Is there an alternate meaning for "BLAST" ?
Congrats, NIU! From a life long Toledo fan
Coach Hammock please apply to Notre Dame at the end of the season. We haven't won a National Championship 🏆 since 1988. You are a great coach.🏈
Hammock is G! Relationships and player development 💯 well spoken
