BK stays at ND

[ChiRish]

I just don't get the "doing this for a raise" angle. HE DIDN'T NEED TO! Why damage recruiting?!?!

 

[ThePiombino]

He can take a break once the current class is home, not interview with the Eagles after a NCG game and having EEs this week.

You have no idea what the circumstances of this "vaca" were. Again- no one would even k now he was gone if this "story" didn't break.

I can't read this dAmn fast slow down plz!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DillonHall]

U on drugs?

Why not? Urban Meyer is obviously a better coach, has coached at ND and loves the school. I know the problem lies with his lack of integrity, but it's not like Kelly is trustworthy either...If Kelly interviewed right after the championship game, it's likely that it was scheduled beforehand...disappointing that he wasn't 100% focused on the game.

Kelly leaving ND for the NFL would be the all-time greatest turd dumping on a program/team this world has ever witnessed.

A Notre Dame source tells me that the expected result of Kelly's NFL flirtation is a raise and an extension.

He was going to get that any!! just an excuse.

And if my aunt had balls I'd call her uncle. These things did happen. EEs are sitting in their moving vans and saying "WTF am I doing?". Clearly the players weren't told.

Urbans dream job was never ND, nor would he leave tOSU right now.

I doubt Kelly leaves..it's just like the recruiting process gotta cover all your bases. #Business

This KID has a better perspective on this situation than half the people on here ha... Stop flying off the handle, we really don't have much info.

I wish we had a coach like that

You are making a lot of assumptions, including the fact that kids are apparently sitting in their moving vans for 6 days. Relax. It's going to be ok.

How do you know? Hell they gave the last guy a ten-year extension...

 

[IrishinTN]

Keith Arnold @KeithArnoldNBC 6m 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.

All is well...

 

[IrishHokie22]

Classless that he is trying land a large contract or move up in competition?

You sound very butthurt about this.

I'm not happy at the prospect of him leaving, but will i talk **** if he does? Nope...

I have no problem with him wanting a larger contract or wanting to "move up in competition". The timing of this is what I take issue with.

How I imagine most of you

Not for the EE's who haven't heard from him and are supposed to enroll Saturday (AA was going to leave Friday)

and here I thought I was going to get a good night's sleep tonight.

 

[BurningRiver]

Why couldn't Kelly have gotten a raise the normal way by kidnapping Swarbrick's family or something?

 

[ALLGATOR]

If he stays it wont damage recruiting. He did not interview for a raise that was coming no matter what.

It's a minor, minor point in this, but hearing again #NotreDame HC Brian Kelly is not out of country. Vacation, yes. Not out of country.

Ya prolly not, itll just show recruits we gots an NFL coach basically

 

[Irish Insanity]

Thats what I'm sayin

But as far as anyone with a I'll hate Kelly if he leaves................... comment is pure stupidity. I wouldn't be happy at all with it, but he just lead our program to the best NDFB season in recent times, and one that for many of us was the best we've ever been a part of.

Phork already touched on this, but this is 2012. Urban may be a better coach, but Ohio State is a more attractive program from a football success point of view. Slightly easier schedule, at least while the Big 10 is down. Less recruiting restrictions. Theres still a lot of expectations, but probably less than the unrealistic Notre Dame fan base. If Urban was going to come to ND, it would have been several years ago. That door is firmly closed, you'll never see him here, you can bank on it. I seriously doubt you would ever see Bob Stoops here either, and I'm not sure I would want him here.

As far as Kelly going, it isn't happening though. I'd be willing to be on that too. He has the program in a pretty good position right now and good things are looming on the horizon. I'm not sure if we can ever compete with an Alabama team like the one Monday night, but Kelly can still have a lot of success. It's a money move, people need to relax. Regardless, this was horrible timing with the recruiting, and he probably didn't need anymore leverage.

Lastly, awesome to see about Jaylon, he's already a true Notre Dame man. Can't wait to see him in gold and blue.

GET THIS MOTHER****ER OUT OF OUR ****ING THREAD- NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO BE TOLERANT OF THIS ASSCLOWN!!!
