I don't think we know if other coaches have similar protocol

Freeman may be unique in his desire to watch film immediately following the game before going to bed. Of course coaches watch a lot of film, perhaps others get up early on Sundays to watch, etc. I'd be surprised if Brian Kelly is watching film beginning at 11:30 after a Saturday night game.

I don't think what Dick Vermeil did in the 70s is illustrative.
