For What Its Worth

For What Its Worth

I do not think it had as much to do with what Brian Kelly wanted from ND but what he wanted for himself. I think the first interview was to see if the Eagles really had an interest in him and then he had to do some soul searching for what he really wanted in the future. I think in his heart that he now feels that he can feel he accomplished all that he ever wants by staying at ND and we will not have to go through this again in the near future.

I lurked this site all week. Haven't been able to sleep. Didn't want to spread negativity...I'm so happy right now!!! Mark it down...Either ND/OSU or ND/ATM title game next year. BK vs Urban would be the ultimate...especially after all the crap I've taken this week at work...GO IRISH!

One of the mods needs to add Kelly to the commitment list. I'm thinking he's a five star.

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."

from nbcsports
Kelly staying at Notre Dame

I love that the media in Chicago was reporting rumors that Swarbrick was furious and that he was blindsided and he didnt know what was going on ect. Blah, blah....

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

There wasn't a big hold up. It was 3 days. The reaction of Notre Dame "fans" was as embarrassing as anything I've ever seen in sports. I hope the people that went off the deep end even though they were repeatedly told it was just a negotiation and there wasn't anything to worry about remember this the next time there is "bad news."

Kelly referred to players coming back instead of going to the NFL as 6-stars. Using that rationale, I would think someone like Diaco should have been a 7-star and along the same lines, Kelly should be an 8.

Really hope my Eagles can get Arians or The Seattle DC. Preferably the latter. Arians is a little old.

I know, right? Who does BK think he is? LOL just kidding. I was kind of torn but really wanted BK to stay with the Irish. Eagles D is a train wreck. No QB. Although Foles has jad his moments. Wait, this is an Irish board. Sorry guys. Glad BK is still Irish.

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!



Lol, No worries. Wont be the first or the last. We all are passionate about ND. Trust me Wildman got some wild texts from me the last few days hahha. back to recruiting hahahaha

if we continue to win, we will deal with this yearly regarding Brian and the NFL

I don't think so. Maybe in about three years, but not in the next two years. I would be willing to bet that the raise also contained some substantial penalties to get out of the contract early. Besides if this would come up again next year, BK won't have a lot of fans.

Thank God this is over.

Now all the trolls can to back to their bridges.

All the butt hurts can go whine about something else.

All the BK demonizers can go back to their occupy movement or tea party rallies or whatever it is they do.

And the rest of us can look forward to NSD and spring ball!

I really hope some of you aren't nearly as dramatic in real life as your are on this forum. The last few days were nauseating to say the least.

I keep telling you have faith in Jack.

So true.

Very glad he is staying.

That said, maybe some of you realize that the NFL is a goal for most coaches, even when they have, what we believe to be, the best job in the world. Anything and everything can happen in this whacky world of sports.

Go Irish.

Read a pretty good article about BK staying. They say a deal isn't done yet but in the works. He professed his love for ND. Its on the four letter networkbwebsite.

Don't be a dick. Be happy that this is over.

And never mix politics and ND football.
