Let's not forget how PJ was an NIU coordinator for ONE DAY before leaving that job and going to the NFL. This could be the shortest tenure of a Head Coach at Minnesota since Jubilation T. Cornpone!

But...but...Minnesota is his dream job...he said so.
Why are you using a six week old article though?

That link is old. Kelley has made a bunch of quality hires in the meantime. He will get another year. But you can bet PJ would climb over Goldy Gopher's dead body for that job. We know that to be true now.

Mark this down... 2019 PJ will be the new coach at ND. Minnesota fans will cry in their cherrios as PJ takes his 2019 recruits with him to South Bend...

Unless PJ wins a Natty he's not going to ND. You guys need to get to know more ND alum. Total mismatch in culture.

I used to think Fleck wouldn't fit NDs culture but if they took Kelly they might just take Fleck if he is still Elite when an opening happens.

You think Brian Kelly AKA. Satan... was a match? That place needs some energy... and it would be a "destination" for PJ.... a place he could root and sustain serious success...

Lou Holtz is just PJ Fleck with ageing. ND alumni expect to WIN on the football field, that's their cultural imperative.

Spot on. I played golf in a tournament with Holtz when he was NDs coach. He was just off the scale hyper. Hitting into groups..."playing through....playing through...."

You guys have zero clue of what you speak. But go ahead with it.

RE: Will PJ pull an NIU bait and switch on UMinnesota?
Dude...I've lived in South Bend my whole life. I have had a financial involvement with the ND sports programs for decades. Lou was a hyper and inspirational figurehead of the football program. I've seen Lous schtick from the athletic side and the corporate side. I can see many similarities between PJ and Lou. But if you have more inside confidential knowledge..then...whatever.

Urban is still young and PJ is not getting to OSU from Minny.

Doo...a large part of my family are life-long ND fans, season ticket holders, and grads. Aside from the initial "Slick Philly" that comes off, he is a coach that preaches and practices PROCESS, values ACADEMICS (an important sell at ND) highly, will promote the brand to NO END, and has very little "questionable" baggage. Unless they have a problem with his divorce, there are very few non-qualifiers there outside of his experience. He does well at Minny and that concern could go the way of the dodo...
88-Mom was born in SB...went to Riley. Dad is a Laporte kid. Born in Valpo, myself. Can't tell you the number of times my grandpa would take me to St. Matthew's to pray for the Irish before dragging me to the pep rally on a football Friday.

I think giving Touchdown Jesus oars would rub some the wrong way.

I dunno, our SW Ohio rendition hasn't been the same since the first one burned to the ground. Perhaps it would give them a little motivation. The pond really does fit the whole theme and all.
