Coach Kelly Situation

[hangarninetysix]

Do you remeber the exact quote?

He said "I'm staying." and then something akin to "Why would I leave?"

They write the same article every few years when ND starts over.

Pat Forde should stick to dating Louisville woman's volleyball players.

[WE-ARE-UC]

Right...I forgot how big of a powerhouse UC Football has become. That is why our head coach will be leaving THIS powerhouse for that TERRIBLE ND team.

If he left it wouldn't have anything to do with who's winning on the field. UC is so far behind the top programs, we are moving at lightning speed on the field and turnout at Nippert but we lack in facilities, pay, prestige, and donors. We have a lot of catching up to do if we want to be a top tier program.

The last sentence in Pat Forde article makes us sound like a bunch of desperate housewives clinging to our last shred of hope to save a marriage...

"That would crush Cincinnati fans, who would be losing their best coach since Sid Gillman in the '50s. Then again, they're used to it."

If this
is true this is the best bday present I ever got.

This is off topic however....if you have not set up a www.twitter.com account...I URGE you to do it, Coach Kelly has "tweeted" quite a bit in the last few days and he has set up a informal poll asking fans on which BCS location they prefer. YOU CAN LEAVE COMMENTS AFTER YOU VOTE....which I am sure he reads! Get to IT!

I can not wait until this is over

How are we used to it? With the exception of Dantonio and Andy Kennedy... How many other promising coaches have left us for "greener pastures"?

[udonkey]

I don't know about you guys, but I lost a lot of sleep when Gillman left...then again, I was born in '81, so maybe Pat Forde was just paid to write another sensational piece about Brian Kelly leaving.

[Dambee]

Sorry guys..didn't see this post...I just started a thread with the same thing

Anybody notice that in the blurb in all CAPS... "is NOT a canidate"???

[oldcat48]

That site is notoriously unreliable. In past years they've been completely wrong in 90% of their predictions, it's just a rumor website.

[Deaf_Bearcat]

Yea, already saw this. This is good, but not 100% finalized one. Once BK decides to remain at UC next year, we will continue to hear more speculations about him leaving for any big school coaching job. For example, Michigan could be firing Rod next year if his team continues to struggle next year. Don't be surprised to hear speculators saying that BK could be on Michigan's top list.
