Notre Dame Fires Weis, Hires Brian Kelly

[hawkeyecub]

You're right only Charlie fell on his face.

 

2 BCS bowls and 3 bowls in 5 years (eligible for 4 bowls). He's going to be working as an NFL offensive coordinator next year and could easily be an NFL head coach someday.

 

I get that you don't like ND and want to enjoy a little schadenfreude, but you have a very unusual definition of people falling on their faces.

 

16-21 in the 3 years where he started getting away from having all inherited players at Notre Dame is certainly falling on your face. At least after you guarantee that you'll out X and O everyone in the nation.

Not to defend Weis, but he would have had some more inherited players in 2007 and 2008 if his predecessor had gone on a recruiting trip or two.

Is there any chance that if the title game is close and Cincy blows out Fla that they could win the title? If so seems odd Kelly would leave before coaching that game.

[hawkeyecub]

Trib is reporting Kelly is on the brink of being the guy at ND.

It really would have been interesting if Texas missed that kick and Cincy was playing in the national championship.

I think that's an extremely remote possibility. If Florida had kept it close against Alabama and Texas squeaked by in the title game I'd give it more of a chance.

Cincy can't play defense. Florida is going to maul them.

Right, but there is a chance this could happen. Why would you want to hire a guy who would walk away from a team playing for a slight shot at the title?

No Chance.

No Chance.

Even if they win like 55-10 and Texas wins like 17-14?

Kelly is everything Weis wasn't. A proven winner, a good recruiter, and good promoter. I'm sure the Domers are still crying that Stoops wouldn't lower himself to coach ND, but they should be and will be very happy to have Kelly in a few years time.

 

Charlie Weis is a lazy man in every sense of the word. He got out coached more times than I can count. He'll never be a head coach of anything. He should kiss a picture of Tom Brady every afternoon before he gets his lazy ass up.

Right, but there is a chance this could happen. Why would you want to hire a guy who would walk away from a team plaing for a slight shot at the title?

The same reason Rich Rodriguez was talking to Michigan when his team was on the brink of playing for a more-than-slight shot at a title. No disrespect to Cincinnati, but when coaches are given an opportunity to go to brand-name schools in college sports, they do it.

I agree that there's really no chance whatsoever. The most recent human poll had Cincy receiving all of 1 vote for first - and that from Brian Kelly. Not enough voters would be swayed, I don't think.

I get that, but never at the expense of their current season. I get once the seasons over you do what's bestfor you and your family. But, until that time you owe it to the school paying you and the kids you recruited to finish the season.

This is a ridiculous post. Look at a picture of Charlie Weis in 2004 and one now. He looks horrible right now. He worked his ass off at this job and it messed him up.

 

And yeah, he looked horrible then, because he was fat, fatty fatty fatty fatty and all that.

Texas would have beaten a team that already dominated Florida in a game that was way more important to Florida. Writers will write it off as Florida not having their heart in the game. I wouldn't be surprised to see a few 1st place votes their way, but I'd be stunned to see anything close to a majority.

 

Regardless of what happens in the BCS games, I wouldn't be shocked to see 1 voter throw a 1st place vote to a secondary undefeated team out of protest.

I want there to be 3 undefeateds left at the end of this. They gotta get a playoff.

[RedFlash]

We don't need a playoff. This season is an aberration in terms of how many undefeated teams are left before the bowl season.

this has been covered in multiple threads. you don't know what you're talking about, so i'm not going to explain it again.

another stroke of genius.

 

you claim to hate Notre Dame, but you can't keep yourself out of this thread.

[Wilson A2000]

Looks like it is all but official that Kelly is the guy.

god, ND has the softest fanbase in all of sports. grow some thicker skin, you nerds.

There were 3 undefeateds before the bowl season in 2004 as well.

Some of the people who hate Notre Dame are some of the most ignorant, stupid fans in all of sports, so I think we'll call it even. And 'nerds', very cool insult 25 years ago.

 

And here's another hater with no real interest in this thread who yet still crawls in here for no other reason than to make dumb statements and rile people up, BTW.

[imb]

i remember my first beer

 

everything i've said in this thread has been true, but you're all so desperately clinging onto the football glory ND had when you were 7 years old that you can't see it.

 

This is not trolling, this is keeping it real. You're all basically trolling yourselves because, like Notre Dame's administration, you'd rather pretend you're something that your not.
