[iwearblacknikes]

Brian Kelly is expected to interview for Notre Dame coaching job Tuesday.

what's everyone's thoughts on this?

[Matt52]

he has a good thing going in cinci and if its not broke dont fix it ir would it be leave it meaning cinci

[mattash]

Hopefully he would wait until after the game with Florida.

[whompascat]

he would be crazy to turn down the $$$$$$$$ N.D. will pay him.

[ActionJackson]

He is hosing his own team.

Well i am a Big ND fan Kelley coming to ND would be good for ND I have a son that is at UC over the last 3 years it just keeps getting Crazzy I think every home game was sold out 3 to 4 years ago you could just about just walk in !! I hope he stays at uc !

[fuzzhead]

If Notre Dame's schedule stays as easy as it was this year, Kelley will do better than ND is used to, but I still say he won't be used to the pressure.

UC has their team banquet thursday afternoon. ND's AD said they would name their new coach no later than friday.

Do the math.

I don't think, being 3 years removed from Central Michigan, that he is ready for the white hot spot light that is ND football.

[3morethan2]

I see him taking the job, i think ND is going to throw the right amount of money at him and if he does end up going, who would be the next coach?

[claypantherfan]

I think he should stay there at Cincy and keep building that program like he is into a power house

[seofan_via_dublin]

He is a Pro-Choice guy, who has worked on presidential campaigns for Pro-Choice candidates.

Now, this doesn't matter at almost any other institution, but Notre Dame IS the premier Catholic University in the World,
and Notre Dame football IS the first representative to the world for the university.

Notre Dame is also the place that protested the President when he appeared, because of his stance on abortion.

I don't think it should matter, but to more than a few devout boosters, you better bet it will.

I think ND is going after the UCONN coach.

I think ND is going after the UCONN coach.

it was reported there is mutual interest.

[The Flying Dutchman]

There is white smoke coming from the Golden Dome, the search is over

Edsel at UCONN has a lot going for him there. He has great facilities. They have updated or built new. His practice facility is among the best. He would have a lot less pressure at UCONN. He has the backing from everyone there and after this year that has meant a lot.

Who ever goes to ND will have to deal with a lot more stress. They have alumini who expect to win now and every year. They also expect to be in a BCS Bowl and National Championship picture often and win those games. If the coach has a young family does he want to put his kids through the taunting from others if they are not winning. That is one thing that Weiss did not like. So coaching at some smaller schools can be better family wise.

ESPN just reported Kelly is the new coach at N.D.

[Mad-Dogg]

Brian Kelly is the new head coach at notre dame. UC has just confirmed it. He will also not coach the bearcats against florida in the sugar bowl

[Malcontent]

Just watched Brian Kelly being introduced as the new coach at Notre Dame. Man if I didn't know better, it looked like Knute Rockne reincarnated.

[Steely Dan]

There's a pattern of behavior here with this guy. He did the same thing when he left CMU, left the team to go to UC before CMU's bowl game.

He's a good coach, but shows absolutely no loyalty, pursuing another job when the one he is holding isn't finished. I don't begrudge him a better opportunity, but obviously he felt no obligation to his current employer.

Yea, I know, it is certainly arguable that if he was going to move, he needed to do it now, but you generally don't see coaches dismissed until the end of the season. I guess it is a little disconcerting to me, as he seems to have a mercenary mentality.

Odds are, if he has success early at ND, he'll bolt for greener pastures again.......
