Kelly to Notre Dame suggested by semi-legit source
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:35 PM ^
Just hope its not Kelly & the source is wrong
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:36 PM ^
"The source, who is a well-informed person of influence at Notre Dame, says the Cincinnati coach is the preferred choice for the job, and that he is expected to eventually sign a deal." Eventually? This sounds a bit flaky to me.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:37 PM ^
is this is irish equivalent to TMZ/Perez Hilton?
as soon as yesterday it was reported that Kelly will not talk about other jobs until AFTER Cinci plays Pitt.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:53 PM ^
You are using future tense to describe the past in your post. Both funny and odd. It's like saying "I am going to the grogery store yesterday".
Just sayin'.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:56 PM ^
I love the "grogery" store.
Just sayin'
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:05 PM ^
they have a very nice "grogery" store in Yarmouth.
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:32 PM ^
Yeah, it's right next to the licker store, down the street from the meet market.
Edit* I can't believe you guys have never heard of the Grogery Store.....You must live under a rock!

Kelly is expected to see out the season with his Bowl Championship Seties-bound team, and then report for duty at South Bend.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:38 PM ^
Well, it actually just says they want him.
"The source, who is a well-informed person of influence at Notre Dame, says the Cincinnati coach is the preferred choice for the job, and that he is expected to eventually sign a deal."
Of course ND thinks that anyone will sign a deal with them.
Having said that, I was kinda worried when he said today he had no interest in the ND job. That means he's interested.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:41 PM ^
...he's gone. He's led Cincinnati to being perhaps the best it can be and will probably not be able to keep it up indefinitely. He's signalled his availability and would be a fool not to take a job at a school as prestigious as Notre Dame.
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:51 PM ^
They're getting a new football facility in time for next season, so maybe that place isn't as bad as you think?
December 2nd, 2009 at 6:00 PM ^
I suspect there is a lot more to do in Cinci than in South Bend, Indiana, a city in decline like much of the midwest due to loss of manufacturing jobs. The biggest problem with Cincinnati is the size of the stadium and, in theory, that may be addressed. Sometimes less is more, but since Kelly hasn't denied anything, I would guess there might be something to the rumor. ND, believe it or not, is not a terribly large school - less than a third the size of Michigan. That reflects on what the area will support in terms of quality creature comfort.
December 3rd, 2009 at 12:40 AM ^
I am implying that they can only recruit to a certain level until they develop a tradition of excellence and get some prestige for the football program. This exists at Notre Dame.
December 3rd, 2009 at 11:35 AM ^
I guess I was implying that their new facility might make it easier to recruit...and based on their #5 ranking, it looks like he might not need much more recruiting.
I guess my point wasn't necessarily directed at you, just a general observation that Cincy might be better than we give it credit for.
But obviously the ND job is still a very attractive one, too.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:38 PM ^
omg omg omg omg
Relax people. Dude has as much or lesser upside as RR had when he came in. We will be up and running by the time he catches his breath. The Purdue's and MSU's of the world better look out though.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:38 PM ^
at least he'll have to start over with a new QB and no Golden Taint.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:47 PM ^
The next ND coach will inherit a lot of young talent. They may lose a few of the upperclassmen, but it may be a pretty good situation to step in to.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:58 PM ^
Maybe. Floyd hasn't been able to stay healthy, JC and Golden are gone, Crist had ACL surgery, and BK hasn't shown any ability to coach defense. This transition should go quite a bit smoother than ours, but to say they're going to hit the ground running is a bit ND.
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:03 PM ^
I didn't mean to imply that they'd be an instant BCS team. I was only implying that it wasn't a bad situation to step in to. It's not like they're starting from scratch. I think we agree that the transition "should go... smoother than ours." That's really about all I was saying.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:38 PM ^
Does "kill me now" mean you won't be starting 8.7 threads per day anymore?
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:55 PM ^
surprised that he hasn't plus voted himself yet...
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:03 PM ^
I love it when Brian negs people's posts
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:07 PM ^
to tell you that you should find something new to do in your spare time....
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:39 PM ^
And now he has!!! Good call, I guess he wanted to stop the bleeding.
December 2nd, 2009 at 5:27 PM ^
i'm kind of...surprised that he hasn't plus voted himself yet...
One possible reason is that he's had some trouble locating the plus vote icon. As of this writing, he has 3056 total votes; 2760 of them have been negs and only 296 found that elusive up arrow.

December 2nd, 2009 at 11:03 PM ^
How many threads has he started?
I was looking for the opportunity to post this myself but you beat me to it :( but its still kobemol-arious :)
December 2nd, 2009 at 6:05 PM ^
i'm kind of surprised this thread isn't about recruiting or future depth charts containing players who aren't even committed to UM.
December 2nd, 2009 at 8:24 PM ^
Magnus: I fear that his posting instincts are so engrained that, much like an involuntary twitch, they would continue for some time after his death, albeit at a slower rate.
December 2nd, 2009 at 3:33 PM ^
He changed his avatar.. I was wondering who you were talking about.
December 2nd, 2009 at 5:54 PM ^
this coming from the guy who makes 107.32 posts per day.
December 2nd, 2009 at 6:07 PM ^
Hi, k06em...I mean, Dwight.
December 2nd, 2009 at 7:04 PM ^
another inaccurate, deep as the Los Angeles River post from Magnus
December 2nd, 2009 at 11:14 PM ^
Dwight Schrute: Security in this office park is a joke. Last year I came to work with my spud-gun in a duffle bag. I sat at my desk all day with a rifle that shoots potatoes at 60 pounds per square inch. Can you imagine if I was deranged?
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:39 PM ^
of influence told Herbstriet that Les Miles was going to be the Head Coach at a certain Midwestern University as well.
That appears to have been proven incorrect.
December 2nd, 2009 at 9:49 PM ^
Miles to ND? J/K
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:40 PM ^
you're saying that any irish fan site that says ND wants Kelly is iron clad proof that he's leaving Cinci to go to SB?
And oh, yeah,
PANIC!!
Um, no?
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:42 PM ^
Get your popcorn ready. I think we are about to see some high scoring M vs ND games if this is true.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:42 PM ^
I just saw a report saying Randy Edsel of U Conn is at the top of the list, until someone signs I'm not going to worry about it. Even then I'm not really going to worry about it, we've always held are own against Notre Dame no matter who they had as coach.
December 2nd, 2009 at 2:48 PM ^
I think that now brings the total of semi-legitimate speculative candidates to 12.
Edsel
Kelly
Stoops
Meyer
Gruden
Dungy
Billick
Ferentz
Harbaugh
Skip Holtz
Peterson
Patterson

Big J is coming back to the earth to straighten us out, stop terrorist attacks, and try to lead ND football out of the morass it has fallen into.

Might as well throw Fitzgerald in there.

Who will be Notre Dame's head coach?
Chef?
Ned?
Officer Barbrady?
The 1991 Denver Broncos?
