Nothing is on ESPN other than an Insider article, should get real interesting.

UGH! I dont like where this is going.

I cant blame him if he leaves. But... well I will wait and see.

Watching Sportscenter... they're reporting that BK is interviewing at ND on Tuesday.

Then again, Saturday night they were also reporting that ND would announce a head coach on Sunday (yesterday)

yep - here's a link

Ugh! Ditto.....

If this is true, they're gonna throw a ton of dough at him.

I can't believe he would blatantly lie to his team. I hope that isn't the case. I am a UC grad and an ND fan. I would have a hard time rooting for him at ND after telling his kids he wasn't going anywhere.

Football coach scoop now has (and once again who knows the credibility of it):

Notre Dame:
Our sources tell us the next Head Coach will be either Randy Edsall (UConn Head Coach) or Skip Holtz (East Carolina Head Coach).

I will say this about FootballCoachScoop. They have reported for nearly a month that Kelly will not go to Notre Dame, despite everyone and their brother speculating the opposite to be true. If they in fact are right, it goes a long way towards establishing some credibility. If they are wrong, any credibility they had is shot. I assume they want people to keep coming back, so I would presume that being right is somewhat important. We shall see...

Well, it was nice being a relevant program while it lasted.

ESPN should be happy -- UC will fall back down to whocaresville like everyone in Bristol wants, so they can spend more time talking up Texas, Ohio State, USC, Florida, Alabama, Oklahoma, LSU, Notre Dame, etc.

Kelly has an interview with ND on Tuesday. ESPN

Link? or is this just more useless speculation?

interview doesn't = job offer

I agree. If he goes...well, I can't fully blame him. But if he told his players he was staying and then bolts...that's pretty low.

Hopefully the interview goes something like this...

[62Bearcat]

maybe it's just me, but after listening to that interview, I am really convinced he is going to stay.

[colocat]

You've been predicting the end of Kelly for weeks. Got a case of Chicken Little syndrome going?

Maybe we can send someone to interview in his place, a la Good Will Hunting, and they'll just come across looking like a numbskull.
