A reported attempt to lure Cincinnati Bearcats defensive coordinator Marcus Freeman has been unsuccessful, as he's decided to remain in his current location.
Sources indicate to @BearcatJournal that Cincinnati DC Marcus Freeman has decided to remain in the Queen City for the 2020 season. Michigan State made a significant push to hire him away, but we are told he's staying put. #Bearcats

This is now the second rejection that new coach Tucker has undergone, as Kentucky's Vince Marrow also turned down an offer to join the Spartans.
