As for Fleck, I heard WM owns the rights to rowing the boat.. Curious to see what mantra he comes up with for his new team

Ha. Like USC trying to market Dunk City after hiring the Florida Gulf Coast coach.

not sure if serious...but no

I am serious... I could be mistaken, but I read a story a few weeks back that said WM bought the rights and if Flecked left, he couldn't take it with him... I have been trying to find that story to no luck so maybe I dreamed it but if I find it I'll post it

Whether you believe me or not i really don't care.. I am not saying its happening i am telling you what he is hearing/debating.. Regarding the motto that was brought up as how he could brand the hell out of it with Nike at Oregon as well.. That being said I think its Fleck's motto, not WMU.

Blaise said:
so what happens in two weeks if Kelly is still the coach and Fleck went to Oregon... We can rip the university for not paying the big bucks that Nike did because Fleck's cousin said so

No offense to southside, but i'll listen to beat writers who gets PAID to break stories over someone who allegedly knows a cousin which apparently is ok to use as a source and doesn't get them a final warning

LOL!!

If you guys don't understand the difference between the way dwshade presents information and the way Southside Sully just did, I can't help you.

So, basically, we are down to waiting on Fleck to finish up this weekend and he is allegedly gonna interview with us and Oregon.

That seems to be it, right? Fleck or Kelly in 2017?

Any change Kelly takes a peak at IU?

Yeah I actually read the same thing. WMU owns that phrase in the CFB context now. If Fleck goes to Oregon or Purdue or ND or wherever you won't be seeing them sell any Row the Boat T-shirts.

THANK YOU!!! I thought I was going crazy.. spent 15 mins at work trying to find the story and couldn't find a thing.. I really thought maybe I dreamt PJ Fleck which would of made more sense if it was his first wife

Good find. There is nothing stopping Notre Dame from buying the rights from WMU though.

True. Good point.

Fleck going to Indiana or Purdue is suicide. Its a dead end job in the toughest conference and division in College Football.

Exactly. Nike would have no problem ponying up the money for the rights.

I hear Va Tech got rid of that 'Push It In" chant they had... I see a two for one deal.

IF we got rid of Kelly, Fleck seems a guy who will be able to recruit at ND.. Honestly, I wouldn't mind him or Sanford...I want to catch lightening in a bottle... Feel excited and you know what.. 3 years we may be looking for a new coach cuz they weren't ready but I am ready for that risk

I'm riding that train too

Ndaccountant said:
Not just that, but Fleck spent time as a positional coach in Div 1 and in the NFL. Kelly's non headcoaching experience was at Assumption and GVSU. Kelly never had to see a recruiting class through in Div 1 until he got to ND. Fleck is in year 4 right now at WMU.

True

Ok I work with PJ Fleck's first cousin, he just told me that Oregon, ND and other schools reps have been talking to his agent right now while he focuses on his game this week. He said a few weeks ago they had a good talk about the hype and attention coming his way.. Calls ND his absolute dream job and knows if he wins here, his family would be set for a long time. Oregon is extremely attractive as well because of Nike. He claims that after the game Friday, that Saturday/Sunday he will be on a plane off to interview.. Didn't say where but said that is the plan right now, focus on game worry about next stop after Friday, let agent handle right now. Thats all i got.

Interesting.

I feel like this board would love Fleck's energy... until we got beat. His row the boat, jump around with the guys stuff seems like it would play really poorly on a mediocre football team. I can see the comments now...

That's just the thing though, with Fleck, we would NEVER get beat!!!!!

It's the same crap every year at this time. Planes, somebody knows somebody, a coach bought property in the area, someone "saw" a coach on campus or at the airport. It's all BS and the message board gossipers eat it up. There is no coaching search going on. Move on. Maybe it's time to just nuke this stupid thread.

Thanks Mr Swarbrick. Appreciate the update.

Sully,
Thanks for the info. I know he's from Illinois, but curious why ND would be his dream job.

Who do you want to replace Kelly and BVG?

Who do you want to replace Kelly and BVG?

Here's a good example of how fickle the CFB coaching landscape can be:

ALOT of those guys were heralded as geniuses a few years ago or even sooner. Kirby Smart is on it FFS.

No I didn't say that i said he has heard From us and Oregon amongst others. and will be interviewing wherever he has lined up to talk to this weekend that doesn't mean us, means there has been at least communication from both sides don't know who initiated

Notice there's only 1 coach in those pics that looks like they ripped their headgear off and is yelling at someone.

No no, I gotcha, I know you took a little heat from some posters. But all good here, what you said fit my personal narrative I created in my head lol. I was essentially clarifying that there hasn't been any chatter of any other coaches other than Fleck at this point. Basically, as it stands according to rumorville, its Fleck or Kelly?

Scott Frost is a good one that I didn't think of; the turnaround at UCF has been nice. Another year, and perhaps he's on BK-at-UC footing.

I mean, not really.

I think it just means the school wanted to sell some T-shirts. You have to use your trademark to keep it; it's not like they can just sit on it.
