BK stays at ND

[GEORGIA DOMER]

This will make cleaning fish more enjoyable! Go IRISH!!!!!!!!!! Q

 

[PraetorianND]

so wait, this means no Gruden?

Or Chip or Kirby.

 

[Cali_domer]

Yeah!!!

 

[BobD]

 

[JughedJones]

Hugs all around.

 

[FearTheBeard]

Anyone else feel like they just stepped out of the gravitron?

YES! this was so ridiculous haha glad its done.

 

[Rocky2820]

Thank goodness this is the resolution. We need BK and this staff staying together. That said, I'd really like to hear what went down with all of this. Still feeling unsettled about the motivation behind it. Maybe just hearing something/anything from BK directly will be enough.

Talked to an alum today and the person said supposedly BK and ND are dotting the i s, crossing the t s.

And hey, how about some reps for Pa GT Fan for posting the above a little earlier and nailing it. Keep talking to this alum, my man.

 

[IrishHokie22]

Glad that's over. Focus on locking down this outstanding class now!

 

[arrowryan]

Now would be a great time to apologize to TP...

I'm sorry about my words yesterday. Everything was building up and the specualtion on here was out of control. I felt everything great that had happened since September 1st was about to collapse and we were on the brink of being mediocre once again. I'm sorry for putting you on blast and calling you out! I'm just glad this is all over and we can focus on recruiting once again.

I think this calls for a group hug, IE style!

 

[NDFANnSouthWest]

I feel violated and dirty.

 

[ChiRish]

AWESOME news. Now finish the recruiting cycle strong and head into next year with some momentum.

My guess is Manti Te'o and Michael Floyd convinced Kelly of the value of not turning pro after his third year at #NotreDame.

It's all good man - people were understandably upset and concerned.

Time to rejoice, and hopefully the staff gets to work on sealing up this class.

 

[Ultimate Penn St. Hater]

Good. Now let's get back to finishing up this recruiting class and winning football games. Go Irish!

Would make sense to see BK get a salary bump of 1M/year or more based on three-year track record of success.

 

[WakeUpEchoes]

@ChiTribHamilton: Understand this: Extension/raise for #NotreDame HC Brian Kelly was on table well before BCS title game. The last week doesn't change that.

Wonder when we will find out more details on a new contract?

Guess this is why Swarbrick was so quiet:


"...Swarbrick said. “I appreciate the Eagles reaching out to request permission to speak with Brian, and I also appreciate Brian keeping me fully informed throughout this process. We all look forward to what’s ahead for Notre Dame football."

[James40]

I won't hear anything in Philly about why he turned them down or what happened, if an official statement comes out can one of you guys post it here, or pm me?

Brian Kelly To Continue As University Of Notre Dame Football Coach - UND.COM - University of Notre Dame Official Athletic Site

UND's official story.

[ChiRish]

Hope Kelly got what he wanted enough to not make this an annual song and dance... then again that would mean that ND is most likely successful.

Raises for assistants, program tweaks, a raise for himself - should do the trick.

 

[Rocky2820]

Brian Kelly to stay at Notre Dame

 

[phgreek]

Notre Dame announced it. I have a hard time believe they would announce something like that unless the deal was done.

Good...go re-assure the recruiting class and current players...

JS...keep that contingency warmed up bro...

That makes me feel better.

 

[scUM Hater]

This sucks, now what do we do.

 

[ickythump1225]

I'm glad this is behind us. Life would have went on with or without Brian Kelly and if he left none of us would have had any control over it. Him staying was always the best option. I'm reasonably sure that the recruiting class will stay together but if we lose a few pieces there is nothing we can do about that either.

My hope for the future is that BK starts to open up the offense and we see the pass oriented spread he ran at Cincinnati. I think with Golson's growth over the season and (hopeful) growth over the off season we should be able to spread it out and sling it.

 

[NDFAN22]

Gonna be very interested to see if all the details leak out and what was the big hold up...go Irish!

 

[Grahambo]

Trust in your leader..even in the most darkest of times. You trusted him in the beginning for a reason. Always remember that.

 

[ChiRish]

That makes me feel better.

I don't know if I believe that... would you admit it if you were getting leveraged?

It could very well be true. At this point, doesn't really matter though.
