Coach Kelly Situation

[Ding Chavez]

So, did I miss anything today? 15 new pages since last night. Don't think I'm going to wade through all that.

Out of those on the list I would say Jones is the best choice. I have thought about him since these rumors started... he studied under Rich Rod as well so he has great knowledge of the spread. The only thing that worries me is he has had one **** of a QB these past few years. I wonder how good he would have been without Dan the Man

Dude...Zach Attack!

Screw Kelly! I am sick and tired of his little games. Bending every over backwards for his little games. Why would anyone want to play for a guy who is willing to consider turning his back on you after you have worked your tail off to get him to back to back BCS bowls? I hope when he takes his dream job everyone reminds every player he talks to that he'll drop them in a minute.

Not a single moment to consider how UC gave a guy with 3 years FBS coaching experience a chance at a BCS school. Or the fact that these kids have labored for 3 years for him.

Wow. You could say that kind of stuff about anybody who's ever changed jobs. Employees who are successful move on to what they feel are greener pastures. Happens all the time.

If BK leaves I will be forever grateful to him for bringing a level of excitement to UC football that I never thought possible.

Screw Over reacting/conclusion jumping fans! I'm sick and tired of their whiny *** entitlement. Why would any coach want to be at a program where the fans have turned their back on him after he busted his *** and gave 110% of his time and effort to bring us to what, up to this point, has crescendoed as the single most exciting sports experience in my Bearcat loving life (yup better that being in Minneappolis for the Final Four plus many others). Fans not giving a single moment to consider how hard this decision is, how much he has given us, or the fact that it will pain him to leave these kids that have fought with him the last 3 years, if it even happens

Damn...get a grip.

Thanks for all you've done BK!!! I appreciate everything you have worked for and I fully respect you pursuing one of the most storied positions in all of sports. Hopefully you see a better opportunity in Clifton. Cheers and Go Cats!

I would not say any nasty things about BK if he leaves UC for ND, but I would be disappointed with his decision and wish him the failure at ND. I would be grateful to have only 3 seasons of the improved UC football season. I don't think UC will find anyone who can do the same thing as BK, but hopefully I am wrong.

Jim Harbaugh on ESPN just said he has not talked to ND about their head coaching job

If BK is hired by ND, then let him pack his bags, and be gone. MT, let KC be the interim coach. He will get the team motivated.

BC.....how are you gonna feel if Coombs follows BK to ND??????

Regarding the bowl game and BK's class:
What did BK do when he left CMU to come here? He made sure CMU had some of the old staff in place to win, and came here with the other half of the staff.
What does that tell you about him? He tried to do the best he could for both teams. Do you guys remember talking about that and how it was a cool thing to do? What coach did this before?
When the media kept pestering him about the situation in the past few weeks he tried to keep the focus on the team and on the next game. When the media asked him after Pitt he got pissed and yelled at them. I thought that was awesome. He goes on the radio today and tells (what I believe to be) the truth that he had not considered whether or not he would consider changing jobs. He hadn't talked to his family about it. He wouldn't guarantee that he woulld coach the Sugar Bowl, would you guarantee something you thought would be a 99% probability? BK goes home every night but will not even guarantee that. Now he tells the team that he will be in NY already and ND want's to talk to him while he is there. This is class all the way in my opinion. What coach has done this before? Like someone here said they usually let the old team know at the new team's presser.

Interesting quote, as Notre Dame seems to have Him on their side

I agree.
Kelly has been a class act throughout this situation.

Kelly is interviewing with Notre Dame ... big news (though not unexpected).

Hope this guy is on MT's list along with the CMU Coach and Clawson at Bowling Green,

(Geez, check out his picture at the bottom with his family - this guy is right out of central casting)

All great points. The thought of him leaving makes my blood start to boil, so it's a good thing we've got some people who are taking deep breaths while the rest of us are sharpening our pitchforks.

Also, I can't say that I ever considered KC leaving if BK leaves...wouldn't that be crazy? BC might end up in the loony bin.
