Kelly is so Irish he does riverdances in the locker room.
Full-on Decatur Clan. Whatever happens, GO BLUE!
Other than his name, what makes you think that? Not doubting you necessarily, but he always just seemed to me like a guy who wanted to climb up the career ladder as far as he could.
But Kelly has said that he grew up loving Notre Dame as an Irish Catholic boy. There is simply no way he leaves.
Don't get me wrong, I would love it if he left, but I just don't see it happening.

Doesn't mean he doesn't like millions of dollars.
They're green too.

I think he leaves within 2 years anyway, I think he's an opportunist type guy, plus being ND coach has to be stressful, he has made them more competitive and who knows how long that might last there, he'll wanna take advantage while the iron is hot.
he also looks like an angry leprechaun
Even if he left, wouldn't they just promote Bob Diaco?
3-3-5 til the day I die y'all
I imagine they would first float to the usual suspects. Jon Gruden, Chris Peterson, Gary Patterson, James Franklin, Charlie Strong, David Shaw. Then assuming they couldn't get any of those guys, they would probably hire either Diaco or someone like Art Briles.
A quick google search and its comin back hot...
"Welllllllll..."
I just got the update via espn app, lol how mad are domers right now?

I would if I were him. He'll never do better than he did this year, and his stock will never be higher either.
Kelly's track record says he's an awesome coach (purple-face of not) and Notre Dame is recruiting just as well or even better than us right now. He made GVSU awesome, he made CMU sweet, he made Cincinnati sweet, and he could easily turn ND into a perennial top 5 team.
If he takes the Job do they give grimace an Irish wake in south bend?

I think they have quite a few good ones too.
Imagine if kelly went to the eagles and Meyer took the job at notre dame. Oh imagine the meltdown....
If you don't like Michigan you are a peasant
But why would he take a job he's already turned down twice?
And even if he did, we only would have to play him twice more rather than every year...

No way Meyer ever leaves OSU for anything other than the NFL. Prestiege and recruiting platform are pretty similiar, he has more history with OSU than anywhere other than Cinci, and there is absolutely no way OSU won't match/beat on coaches salary + assistants salary. Alas, I think we are stuck with him until he retires.
Obviously, the Rooney rule stipulates you must interview at least one purple person.
I guess ESPN meant "received phone call and said no thanks."

Omnia mutantur nos et mutamur in illis.
In disarray again?? They have a really good recruiting class as well. There would be a ton of scrambling!
Yeah, they went 12-0 this year, but I think dumb luck had more to do with it than Brian Kelly. If he leaves they might actually get someone good that would be able to maximize the talent on that team.
This is stupid for the Eagles. I'd wait until next year to see if he's for real. He had one good year and got pooped on in the NC game.
903 wins most in college football
Anyone remember how close he was to getting shit canned at the start of the year?
Bears Beets Battlestar Galactica
but he's won everywhere he's been. To say he's had one good year at ND is true, but ignores his career. Plenty of NFL HC's have been hired on lesser HC resumes. Doug Marrone just took the Bills job this week.
To be fair..He's won with other coaches talent every where he's been.
Bears Beets Battlestar Galactica
I think he pretty much built GVSU from the ground up and I believe CMU and CIncy were pretty average before he got there and let them both to some of their best season ever. It's not like he was a Chizik who had Malzahn and Cam Newton (he had LeFevour but he's not quite the specimen Newton was)
Gvsu is a tough job.. He had to recruit against the likes of..... Hell if I know and I grew up 15 minutes from there. Doesn't change the fact that while in the big leagues all his winning teams were made of rosters full of the other coaches recruits.
Bears Beets Battlestar Galactica
Taking someone else's players and making them great is even more impressive.
You do realize that Mike DeBoard was the HC at CMU before Kelly correct? To say the cupboard was bare is an understatement, it had yet to be built yet.
Also, Weis had how many top 10 classes and perennially underachieved, Kelly has finally started to get the most out of the leftover upperclassman from those classes and with a hefty sprinkling of his own recruits got his team to the MNC. I may not like the guy but to say he wins with others recruits is untrue.
Blue is Faster
It doesn't matter what you do with 25 five star recruits. If you can't coach, you can't coach. I think its an absolute idiotic statement to make "Well he used the previous coaches kids", at the time those kids were recruited he was somewhere else. So if he had actually been at that school, whos to say he wouldn't have recruited those kids anyways?
So again, in this case, Weis recruited offense, strictly. There was nothing wrong with the offense. Under Weis I think ND had 35ppg on offense. The problem was a vacant defense. Kelly came in, recruited the hell out of defense and here we are.
Now if Kelly can do what he knows best and light up the offense, we'll be good.
The man was at GVSU from 1987-2001. When I was in school there, you could fire a cannon through the stadium and not hit a fan, and he turned it into the power program of D2 football. Plus, he spent 3 years at CMU, another total garbage team, and won the MAC. From there, he took Dantonios shitty roster and put them in a BCS game in 3 seasons. It doesn't matter who recruited the kids that were there, it matters how the coaches produced results. When you're at a school for 3 years and
show improvement every year that is sustained after you leave, you're a good coach.
Please!
