Why would he even go to the NFL, does not have to deal with owners or diva players.

To get away from boosters, athletic directors, university presidents, unrealistic fans, and stoopid NCAA rules?

There are several NFL coaches out there making $7 million plus.

And some coaches might perfer to deal with diva players than with recruiting.

Yeah, I would definitely say there is plenty of "diva-ness" with high star high school players, thinking they own the world.

Have you seen him coach? He seems as if he has mailed it in.

I am sure that ND is in touch with a coach that will benefit even better. By the way, who is that?

At this point who cares, just someone who will coach and take responsibility for his mistakes. Not throw the team under the bus. Just done, throwing 26 times in a hurricane and being so stubborn not to realize his game plan stuck(again).. I don't expect to know all the mistakes he has made but this season has been to much.

I can't argue with Kelly's coaching decisions on that last game, but I am not sure of the coaches that ND would want be available in light of the other coaching changes that could happen at UT, USCw, and which has already happened at LSU that would make ND's situation better. Waiting a year may be the best option.

Could Brian Kelly go back to Cincinnati? Or did things end too badly there?

Go back to G5, no.

UC would hire him back in a heartbeat if he were available... that being said I do not think he will be available (he will either stay with ND or go elsewhere).

Cincinnati could be in the Big 12 very soon and Cincinnati is a place he knows he can win. It would be better than a lot of other P5 jobs honestly.

If UC gets in the Big12, maybe, but would he still want to go to a conference that may only last as an autonomy conference for a few years, being stuck trying to get back in if UC is not successful.

Yeah... Two problems with this line of thinking:
1) I see no chance of the Big XII taking UC, nor do I think they should. UC has a MAC mentality and we should probably think seriously about that direction more than the B12. (And yes, I am disgusted with the UC administration right now.)
And...
2) We have a coach under contract and the buy-out is too large to consider firing him. UC athletics is already 54% subsidized by student fees...there is little chance we find seven figures-plus to pay a guy to go away and still find $3+ million for another coach. Ain't. Happening.

UC will have to ride out this train and in three or so years, after Tuberville retires, look for a first time coach in the $1-1.5 million range.

While I agree with you I have concerns about the way the store is being minded right now at UC, I see no way Tuberville is brought back short of them running the table the rest of the year, including a bowl win. If you were at the USF game and saw the crowd reaction in the second half + the aftermath the past couple of weeks you would understand what I am saying. There's no putting the toothpaste back into the tube at this point.

Anyone have thoughts/comments on next Purdue head coach??

Some thinking WMU head coach. Or do you think they'll try to get a Big Ten coordinator? Or a coach that formerly coached at Purdue, and is now elsewhere in the country?


How about this one: Wyoming coach Craig Bohl. Hear me out: coached NDSU to (essentially) three FCS titles, takes over Wyoming and, I admit, has not had a ton of success. But has them going in the right direction (and btw, the Nebraska loss only got out of hand in the 4th qtr, plus EMU is much better this year). And Purdue fans know full well where their last successful coach came from!

Could the Wyoming v Boise St game be Craig Bohl's job interview for the Purdue job???

I think that ND will end up at 4-8 this year.

I also think from what I have read and heard that his job is not in jeopardy this season.

Stay tuned.

Brett McMurphy just floated Dana Holgorsen to LSU or Florida State during SportsCenter.

A fall from a preseason No. 10 ranking to a 2-5 start has left Notre Dame with a sour taste in its mouth, but athletic director Jack Swarbrick made it clear this week that Brian Kelly will not be coaching for his job once the Fighting Irish resume play out of this weekend's bye.

"Brian will lead this team out of the tunnel opening day next year," Swarbrick told ESPN.com.

Everyone has such a short attention span and even shorter memory. It wasn't that long ago that the media was saying WVU might fire Holgorsen because he hadn't shown he could win in the Big 12. All it takes is one 5-0 start with no quality wins to erase all that and put him on the short list for top-tier job openings? SMH.

So what you're saying is that Notre Dame will pay anything to keep Kelly from leaving?

Not sure Purdue is all that attractive of a job. He'd be wise to wait it out for somewhere better

Sounds good for Army. We can beat Notre Dame this year if Kelly is the coach.

Fleck would be a fool to go to Purdue.

Hold out for a good job.
