ESPN (Forde) Article on the Irish

[mgriff]

College football rivalries might experience a reversal of fortune in 2010 - ESPN

In the article and video it talks about "changing" rivalry series, with the first example being ND/USC. They love the Irish for views, but do they really think Kelly is going to turn it around? With his track record it would seem yes, but ND is a horse of a different color. The authors also state that the gap will close, and it is unlikely to be this year.

Interesting article. I've pretty much had the same feeling about SC since the day Carroll left. I just don't see Kiffin being as successful.

No thank you. I boycott Patt Forde articles on the account he loves to bash Notre Dame and finds clever ways to work in the firing of Ty UnWillingham half the time.

Forde on the Kelly Hire... "The Irish, who years ago fired Ty Willington (a black man) after just three years have hired yet another flagrantly white head coach..."

or is that Jason Whitlock???

The last time Notre Dame beat the Trojans was 2001, when Bob Davie was coaching the Irish. Since then, the school has struggled through three poor hires -- Tyrone WillinghamGeorge O'Leary (for a minute) and Charlie Weis , --

There are a lot of threads on this board alone that underscore that highlighted statement.

Learn what? A pompus ass finally admitting that Willingham was bad hire now. Even after article after article after article just absolutely ripping ND about firing Tyrone Willingham after 3 years. Referring to him sarcastically as the "Scourge of Humanity". Touting his 4-1 start at UW....even though he never won another game after that. He owes it to ND nation to at least admit he was wrong.

Forde is a Mizzou alum, yet another reason to want to punch him in the face.

wait, he also thinks Boise should be #1.

It depends on the amount of bleach you use.

I didn't know this:

"Just ask Texas coach Mack Brown. Once, when Brown was coaching in the Hula Bowl, he had an excitable coach on his staff from Grand Valley State. Brown put this Brian Kelly guy in charge of play calling for the bowl game."

...however, you could fill a large library with stuff that I don't know.

You guys know I dont care for any espn pats on the back, but like anyone with good common sense they can smell it coming-wins.

I have no love lost for BSpn, but I am ready for the U$C reversal of fortune. Kiffin is a mediocre college coach at best, and Kelly is one of the best.
