[ResLife Hero]

Hell yes, helps get rid of that negative recruiting angle.

Congrats BK? Congrats Savvy Jack

 

[Kaneyoufeelit]

Love the timing of this

 

[Whiskeyjack]

In before irrational negativity hits the fan.

But is Kelly really a great coach? Should Sanford get the coach-in-waiting title?

Love it.

 

[NDgradstudent]

Is this going to delay Urban's arrival in SB?

 

[NDBoiler]

Well played by ND and BK. Perfect timing for closing out this recruiting cycle.

Good call Jack. Good job Kelly you have earned this.

 

[rtrn2glory]

He says the right things all the time to the media about when/if he's going to the NFL.

Nice to have "some" sense of security in that regard.

I will say as long as he leads as to a natty I won't have any hard feelings if he leaves.

Has Kelly hit his ceiling at ND? How can Swarbrick give him such an extension while that mustachioed fool BvG is still on the payroll? Why do we still dump so many resources into recruiting California each cycle? Why does Longo still have a job after three straight years of devastating injuries? Was 9/11 an inside job?

I WANT ANSWERS DAMMIT.

Nice. Happy for everybody involved.

If I had to guess it's somewhere between 5-4M/year. Weis comes of the books at the end of the year, correct?

No no. You demand answers. Especially about Neal

Nice. Compared to past seasons, he's seemed all-in on ND the past year, especially in regards to recruiting/social media. This keeps him here through age 60 if he stays for the rest of the contract. I'd be pretty surprised if he doesn't retire here personally.

Yup, Weis just came off the books. If you look at "total compensation" (which none of us can) I'd bet Kelly is paid as a top 5 coach right now.

 

[koonja]

So Sanford will be 39...

When did koonja hack into whiskey's account?

I believe he is off the books now.

He needs a new contract too. Give the man some Money!

The good news is that Kelly is willing to sign a six-year deal and continue to live with the standards that Notre Dame demands. It says something about the man when he accepts the academic standards, the character standards, and the pressure of being the football coach at Notre Dame and chooses to stay. If I wanted to see my favorite team win multiple national championships by compromising its standards, I would have chosen a certain team in Ohio or better yet a certain team down south as my favorite team. Instead, I chose to root for Notre Dame when I began following college football in the 1960's. I've watched Notre Dame win a few national championships along the way, but I'm even more proud of the university's commitment to academic excellence and honorable character. When Notre Dame wins its next national championship, it won't be because of compromised values.

Thanks for staying, coach.
