BK stays at ND

[mgriff]

It's okay guys...

 

[Ironman8]

Again unless he told the kids he's coming back.

Doesn't sound like he did looking at the recruits and Nix's tweets.

 

[Itchynut]

regardless the man should not be on vacation right now....

Why not??? The man just delivered one of the best Notre Dame football seasons in the last 2 decades! I hope he is enjoying his time off and will be looking forward to all of this blowing over by the time he even gets a chance to tell his side of the story.

Going by your last game Coach Kelly, you have a lot of recruiting to do

Spoke with one NFL source that thinks this is a standard negotiating tactic. Heard that ND and Kelly's agent were already talking new deal.

 

[Irish8248]

TIFWIW .... my buddy who does his own website and interviews recruits just sent me this "From my buddy who is an insider ... Hey I thought I would give you a heads up. I talked with a few recruits tonight. Kelly has not told anyone about talking to NFL teams. A 2013 recruit said he didn't think it was serious."

 

[Sherm Sticky]

It's okay guys...

I'm down with that.

 

[philipm31]

O'Leary lied on his resume for every job.

Notre Dame is one of the best jobs in the country. Now that people have seen that you can really win and get recruits in there, and that the facility and strength weaknesses are no more...there will be a line from South Bend to ****ing Mississippi full of coaches who want the job.

Like Houston Nutt??

Now I ask you are you on drugs because that is just totally false.

95% of kids that want to come here cannot bc of the academics and nearly the same number of coaches are the same way towards coaching in ND.

The ONLY coaches that will be knocking down ND's doors are unproven assistants, not proven head coaches.

It is a nice theory but not even close to the truth. ND struck gold with the Kelly hiring and the Holtz hiring...25 years apart.

I don't want to wait another 25 years, but that is the reality. NOBODY was lining up for this job, nobody that ND wanted. And Stoops is NOT there for the taking either. Because his system would not work at ND either.

ND loses Kelly, and it is the death knell of indepdence, to be honest. Just another five years with Kelly would have staved it off, but without him at the helm, we will be rudderless and have to cave in much sooner than any fan, alum or subway alum, would like to admit.

I hope Brian Kelly is just seeking a raise, CFB is better when ND is relevant. He has left his last 2 jobs quickly.

Not shocked by this and also not assuming anything. If he stays there will be interviews next year too. We don't know much, just relax. Everyone was basically waving Chip Kelly goodbye to the NFL last week.

 

[IrishHokie22]

I'm truly shocked by this. He says "leaving ND is not an option", then gets whipped in the NCG, and interviews directly afterwards?

Maybe I'm overreacting when I say this... but I think this is a completely classless move by BK, even if it's just a negotiating ploy. Wow.

 

[TheChosen1]

I'm down with that.

And in less than a month people will say how much they hate Urban

 

[Brooklyn]

As a Giants fan and a Notre Dame fan, I will hate BK forever if this is true.

 

[philipm31]

Gerry Faust was hired from a high school.

I'll ask again, are you on drugs right now?

JESUS!!

I was responding to the post that hinted that we should hire a first time coach, like Diaco.

I am NOT ON DRUGS.

Notre Dame Jokes ‏@notredamejokes

Something tells me Brian Kelly wants to go to the NFL just to draft Tommy Rees and start him.

Some humour to lighten the mood.

Brian Hamilton ‏@ChiTribHamilton
Will leaving be an option after all? Report says Eagles "have made overtures" to #NotreDame HC Brian Kelly: Sources: Eagles interviewed Notre Dame's Brian Kelly

 

[IrishLax]

Don't think he is leaving but this could hurt us in recruiting down the line. other coaches will hang this over our head

YUP

Oh I don't like him. But I would take him as my teams head coach.

PAY THE MAN!

 

[Me2SouthBend]

You think coaches aren't already calling the ND verbals? Ouch. This better not grow legs for very long. I'd be shocked if this didn't affect some recruits decisions to follow through on visit plans in Jan.

I think you need to go sit in timeout. I'll leave it at that.

Reps. Kelly is going no where. Everyone chill.

I'd be surprised if Brian Kelly turns down an NFL job. He has always looked to move up a level, everywhere he's been.

Something not so funny.

Panic is slowing down.. still there though

As a Eagles fan I'd feel the same way ....... Well unless he wins a Super Bowl (what's that?)

I need a shot, do a line of a stripper and a bj!

what is the over/under of pages I'll have to sift through in this thread when i wake up at 5? i'm saying 45?

Urban over Kelly any day of the week (not that it's likely to happen).
