BK stays at ND

[connor_in]

I disagree, there's definitely some new information here:

* Jeff Jeffer's says this is the most bizarre story he's ever covered in his 37 years of covering the program. Which is telling.
* Kelly's agent is recently hired: A former NFL player with lots of connections to the NFL. How this correlates with Kelly's likelihood of leaving/staying, who knows.
* Jeff Jeffers has many sources/contacts/connections close to the program, and nothing he's heard has led him to believe that this is all simply a big negotiation tactic. In fact, in the video, he said that the longer this goes on the more likely it's that Kelly will not return. Which is analysis I agree with.

I have watched Jeff Jeffers cover ND all my life. He has got to have more contacts at the University than the Pope.

Not to be a negative nancy but that team meeting can go either way.

"Hey I'm staying."

or

"Hey I'm taking another job in the NFL."

Either way he'll be addressing the team and most certainly talking about what's been going on.

Any Idea how all of this is affecting how Junior Day will go?

Good point, but with said meeting already scheduled and the Eagles still setting up interviews, that has to be a good sign. No?

Sounds like it's going to be a long weekend.

It definitely helps ND in terms of leverage if the Eagle's don't make BK an offer before then.

Thinking about taking a IE break until all this is sorted out. lol

The latter would have to be made into a commercial, where a crushed locker room is consoled by a leaving BK telling them he saved on his car insurance by switching to Geico.

when this is all over, can we just delete this entire thread?

Absolutely not. This entire thread needs to be put in bronze and hung outside the Stadium like the Tebow speech for future generations.

I heard a crazy rumor: Brian Kelly interviewed for the Eagles job before the NCG, took the job and Chip Kelly was hired by Notre Dame. The rumor also states Diaco and Martin will stick around.

Believe it or not, I just heard the same thing. Supposedly came from a sociology professor who is close to BK stating, "A Kelly will be at Notre Dame next year but his name will probably not be Brian."

FWIW. Don't kill the messenger.

I personally don't believe it.

This is so out there that if this was any other day than today, I would most likely attempt to maim the messenger at the very least lol

WTF? I just assumed this was supposed to be in italics. In fact, I'm wondering if your post is supposed to be in italics too.

if Chip comes to ND my mind will officially be blown.

 

[ThePiombino]

Unless Phil Knight just bought Notre Dame, I just don't see any way fathomable.

Does that mean we get Nike gear?

 

[PraetorianND]

This is way too much bullsh!t LOL.

Don't buy this non sense.

Kelly, Brian didn't get the Eagles job and Kelly, Chip will be in Eugene next year.

...

SM mother****in H

Would you prefer Chip or BK? Just curious.

 

[koonja]

I'd be happy with either Kelly, but I'd rather have Brian.

 

[BobD]

I can't imagine the rumors we'll be conjuring up by Sunday night.

God help us if this isn't resolved by then. Buckle up!!!

HC will be Gruden, with Chip as OC, and Smart as DC. Nike will be our sponsor and we'll play in a retractable dome made of actual gold with a jumbotron that dwarfs the one in Dallas. Gold field turf. The entire campus will be relocated to San Diego.

Admission standards will be similar to Mississippi State's and beautiful coeds will be flown in from every corner of the world.

Clowney Transfers in.

 

[DomeLover3]

Yea, I'll pass on Chip Kelly... God I just want to open this thread and see a tweet that BK signed an extension

 

[zemaniak]

Greetings from DD

Happy to see the rumor mill is creating havoc here as well!

Your drugs seem to be of better quality than ours though!

 

[DillonHall]

Just for one second...imagine Chip Kelly's offense coupled with Bob Diaco's defense

 

[ThePiombino]

The funny thing is that while there is no substance to Chip Kelly coming to ND, there is no doubt that someone in Eugene will Google his name and randomly stumble upon this thread which will create and equal amount of chaos over there. lol

 

[zemaniak]

I wonder if it' s possible to have a hard nosed defense when you have an offense geared towards speed, since that's who you practice against and need spped to play against them

Wait. Chip really is coming? Holy crap, to twitter I go!

 

[Grahambo]

I heard that ND has entered into a 3 team trade:

ND gets Nick Saban and Chris Rumph

Eagles get Brian Kelly, Mike Elston, and a coach to be named later

Alabama gets Todd Bowles, Scott Booker, cash, and promote Kirby Smart to HC.

 

[BobD]

God help us if this isn't resolved by then. Buckle up!!!

This thread is the National Enquirer of threads.

An alien spaceship will be dropping off our new coach at the stadium, guided in by a jumbotron thats been secretly installed and will rise above Touchdown Jesus just before midnight.
