Im with BK. whatever he thinks is best is what should happen.it's his program now.
O hope they find jobs quickly,I wouldnt wish anything bad on anyone. But they probably dont fit in with the kind of mentality he wants in the program.

Wow. Alford will be the only one retained. I guess Powlus is gone too. I wonder what it was that spared Alford.

didnt he pull Nix in? bringing in a recruit when you might not have a job can save your job.

Oh no! I really liked both of these guys. Both were a good fit, and Polian was a good recruiter.

ESPN reporting that Alford is the only coach to be retained. They cited the South Bend Tribune as the source. Also reports that Powlus, Latina, and Mendozza could be heading to Akron.

Well... shit. Polian was, by far, our best recruiter. Not enjoying the direction this may head. Especially with Hendrix's potential wavering...

Polian leaving is a surprise, but if he gets a D-1AA HC job it is better for him. IMO, he was a terrible special teams coach but one of the best recruiters in the country. Hart should leave. I'll take Elston over Hart definitely.

Don't like this move at all, I would keep Polian for the recruiting and Hart was only here for a year...hope BK brings in a staff soon.

i just read that article and really found it surprising that so many of these guys would be interviewed for head coaching jobs. i wish them all well and look forward to a new start!

im thinking BK brings in a staff after the sugar bowl.

He's going to bring in the Cincy staff. I'd bring in some in like LB, DL coach but I'd go offer Bud Foster(VaTech) DC 600,000 to come to ND. He's only making 400,000 at VaTech. Bud is a great DC and I don't like who Brain Kelly had as his Cincy DC.

I'm not at all enthused with who BK had as his DC in Cincy, but what do I know, it's his program now. He may know O, but I seriously doubt he knows D as well as he claims.

It took Polian about 3 years to start making an impact in Cali. Now Kelly is going to bring in his entire Cinci staff. None of which have any recruiting clout. He isnt even trying to interview any coaches and says that he coaches players up and doesnt worry about ratings. I know that as a coach he should say that but i hope he doesnt seriously believe that he will recruit a bunch of 3 stars to Notre Dame and coach them up because we will be looking for a new coach in 5 years.

If we can't close on at least someone like Barr then i am going to turn into NDOM because i already hate what he is doing

Gone.

I figured Young would stick around at least. Not pleased.

Been reading that Kelly wanted to keep BY as a graduate assistant and he wants a coaching job. Could join Ianello at Akron which means the BY, Powlus, Latina and Mendoza could all be part of Ianello's staff. If we get outrecruited by Akron i'm gonna be pissed.

I am not happy at all because I have a VERY bad feeling he is just going to bring the whole cincy staff who have NO west coast recruiting experience!!! Polian should of been kept before anyone! If he does not bring in a NEW DC and just brings all the cincy defensive coaches we will be going through this same shit AGAIN in 3 years!!!! :(
