Tuberville to ND? (pure speculation)
Anyone else think Tommy Tuberville would be a good choice for Notre Dame? He wants to get back into coaching, knows southern recruiting well, and has an amazing record in big games. He's also well-spoken and can work crowds -- something Weis clearly couldn't do. Tuberville is a defensive-minded coach as well with a strong record as a recruiter. He might be just what Notre Dame needs.

Anyone but Brian Kelly is a good choice at ND. Unfortunately, my money is on BK.

South Bend sources are citing the prestige and excellence that comes with the Notre Dame head coaching job to explain how Saints coach Sean Payton is the leading candidate for the football vacancy the university is experiencing.
Payton did little to rebuff the rumors, stating "Hey my team might be 11-0 but you're not in the Big Leagues until a giant drawn rendering of Our Lord Jesus Christ is looking down at you asking 'LOL WTF' because you went for it on 4th down in South Bend."
Lou Holtz, when reached for comment, had this to say: "Thuckerin Thuckatash Nother Dame ith goin to tha World Cupth!"

Hey, wasn't the next ND coaching search thread supposed to have an alligator as the source?

Why not Bobby Bowden?

Bowden's way closer to coaching one of God's other teams

One name I haven't heard yet, but wouldn't be surprised to hear in the running is Randy Edsall, the UConn coach.
December 3rd, 2009 at 2:05 PM ^
Meanwhile, a source said Connecticut coach Randy Edsall has been contacted by a Notre Dame representative to gauge his interest in becoming the next Irish coach.http://www.suntimes.com/sports/colleges/1915418,CST-SPT-nd02.article

Tom Lemming is quoted in the article suggesting Mike Leach as a possibility at ND...this has to be a new low among all the dumb ideas surrounding the ND search.
December 3rd, 2009 at 3:03 PM ^
Mike Leach is going to be the starting LB for us next year.
edit* this is a joke carried on from the thread that said Ezeh is the #4 Junior LB in the country.....for those who are sarcasm impaired

If it weren't for the cultural mismatch, I'd endorse the idea. You make some good points. He might be tainted by all the shady SEC dealings (directly / indirectly), too.

I can't believe you have spent so much posting on this blog in an effort to launch your TT for ND campaign. Good Luck!

ESPN's latest mentions Kelly with no mention of Tommy, but...
Lists the guys at "the center of the search" as:
Skip Holtz (yes, that Holtz family) ECU
Edsall (UConn)
Harbaugh
