College football fans roasted Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman for calling a timeout while Texas A&M was going for it on fourth down.

The costly timeout by the fourth-year Fighting Irish coach allowed the Aggies to carve up a game-winning play that buried the 2024 College Football Playoff National Championship finalists to 0-2 this season.

One fan described Freeman as a total fraud and called for a roster overhaul in the middle of the season.

Another fan couldn't believe the blunder Freeman committed with just 19 seconds left on the clock.

Other fans hurled choice words at Freeman after the last-second gaffe that allowed Texas A&M quarterback Marcel Reed to pass to Nate Boerkircher for an 11-yard touchdown that tied the game at 40. Randy Bond made the extra point that gave the victory to the Aggies.
