Notre Dame football head coach Marcus Freeman flipped the script Monday, asking some pointed of one media member’s decisions on the football field.

Freeman’s son plays a flag-football team coached by Irish Illustrated’s Tim O’Malley, so he took the opportunity to ask “grill” the coach as if he were a member of the media.

“My turn?” Freeman said from the podium. “Second, third-grade championship game, two trips to the red zone, zero points. One play was a reverse pass that was intercepted in the red zone, you were the offense coordinator on there? Thoughts on the red zone play calling?”

Freeman appeared to find the response satisfactory.

Then, Freeman had a questions about his son, Nico.

“Last question,” Freeman said. ‘There was a Nico Freeman in that same game that had a long run that was negated by only having one flag on. Whose responsibility is it to make sure the young man has two flags on?”

O’Malley appeared to partially blame another coach, which Freeman found humorous.

“It would be the guy in the huddle, which would be me, but you might be able to blame coach Stanley,” the reporter said.

Freeman joked he should own the mistake.

Check out the full exchange above, which ends with Freeman asking the reporter about his championship game wins.
