Rivals.com College Football - Q-and-A: Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly

I love this quote:

But if they come to Notre Dame, they will have to work hard in the classroom. That gets turned against us in the recruiting process: 'You can come to X-Y-Z college and it won't be quite as hard.' You know what? If they decide to go there, that isn't the kind of guy that I want to coach anyway."

If he was in my living room talking to me like this.. I would have one question, "Where do I sign?"

I didn't think it was possible for me to get any more excited for the Kelly Era. I'm getting stoked after every interview and every day closer to the season.

This is the kind of coach you die to play for and give everything you have on every play for.

Did you talk to anyone before you took the job to get a feel for what you were going to walk in to?

"The person who I got the most counsel from was Rick Minter [who did two stints as Notre Dame's defensive coordinator, in 1992-93 and 2005-07]. I got some great insight from him about what is to be here. I talked to Gary Darnell [defensive coordinator from 1990-91]. I talked to Mike Denbrock, who was at Notre Dame [2002-04 as offensive tackles/tight ends coach] and is back here with me and who was on my Grand Valley staff. I did not talk to any former head coaches, but I talked to a number of assistant coaches."

Interesting that he spoke to assistants who had been fired.

I caught that too. Interesting. They didn't seem to be good coaches either. I don't know what that means...

"...I did not talk to any former head coaches, but I talked to a number of assistant coaches."

Didn't he say other interviews that hes spoken to Weis, Lou, and Ara?

Key word in the article is before he took the job.
