Being I am not a fan of Notre Dame I hope he falls flat on his face.

Terrible program and is expected to win National Championships when they barely can win bowl games(unless they are playing a hapless Hawaii). Good luck, ND will go 6-6 next year and reject another bowl bid.
Yeah good luck going into recruits homes and asking the parents to trust him to take care of and treat his kid like they would after he just lied to everyone of his current players. Bad situation should have been handled much better because all it does is make Kelly look like an ass!killer_ewok wrote: IF this was in fact Notre Dame's 3rd choice......it's a helluva 3rd choice IMO.

Nick Saban didn't seem to have any trouble with that.

IMO, he handled it exactly how a coach who is leaving normally handles the situation. He never came out to the media and said he was planning on leaving. And why tell your players that you want to leave, only to have a deal fall through and then you have completely lost their trust. Be mad all you want...but face it, UC is not a school that a coach wants to stay at for his entire career.
Are you kidding me?! When should he have told his players? Maybe the deal didn't get finalized until today. Maybe he was told not to tell anyone...especially his players...to keep the story from leaking out. Neither you nor I know exactly what was said or when the deal went down. So to say he handled it like a pussy is completely retarded. He didn't want to distract his players last week, and kept his mouth shut this week until things were official.eersandbeers wrote: Actually he handled it exactly like a pussy handles these situations by not telling the people who should hear it (the players) before it gets reported in the media.
He did it exactly like Dick Rod and I can't wait to see Kelly fired in 4 years. Piece of garbage and he will get what he deserves.

I hope he does get what he deserves...a National Championship under the Golden Dome!

"All I can say is that with all the speculation and all the jobs that have been out there, sooner or later 'no' means 'no,' " Kelly said.

He should have told his players first instead of lying to them at every turn. He even put on his twitter feed this week on tuesday night when in NYC that he wasn't meeting with ND. I guess it would have been different if they were playing Bama in the National Championship game. What would he have told ND "I'm interested but you have to wait until after the game", why couldn't he have done that now. He owes that much to these kids who played their hearts out for him and are as much the reason why he is even getting this opportunity. Go out there and coach this team and then do the deal after the game. UC was told that all they had to do was build him a better facility and he would be glad to stay, that his family loved it and didn't want to leave. They re-worked his contract every year he was here and were going to do it again. There is something wrong with college football when a coach can leave like this but if a player wants to transfer he has to sit out a year.eersandbeers wrote:sherm03 wrote:Are you kidding me?!

As soon as the decision is made a head coach owes it to his players to inform them before anyone.
Actually he handled it like a classless douche last week also. Going off on reporters rather than just saying "I have interest in the Notre Dame job." Much like Randy Edsall did when he made his interest public. Then I heard (I don't know if its true) that on tonights award show he said he wasn't going to be teh coach at ND.
Kelly will be gone in 4 years so it won't matter anyways and Notre Dame will continue the coaching carousel.

What difference does it make to college football? It is good for Notre Dame, but the game has done just fine in the last 15 years without their being regulars in the BCS mix.ghosthunter wrote: Just my opinion, that a competetive ND team, that's in the BCS mix, is good for college football.
