Believe me now, all you Brian Kelly bashers.
If Notre Dame has not been pursuing Brian Kelly, they ought to fire athletic director Jack Swarbrick after UC's amazing win over Pittsburgh. Luckily for Swarbrick, that is not the case. Kelly proved what I have been saying since Weis lost to USC – that he is the man for the Fighting Irish job, and I believe Swarbrick began pursuing him after USC. I believe he will get his man.
The contrast was there for everyone to see in the last-gasp win over Pittsburgh. Weis' team would have come close, but no cigar. Kelly just found a way to win with an incredible comeback.
Replay that game 100 times, and Pitt probably wins 99 of them. But it is the one win by miracle-worker Kelly that everyone will remember.
ABC reported that Kelly will “entertain” talks with Notre Dame during their telecast of the Pitt game. Later, some UC players stated that Kelly had told them during the week that he was not going to South Bend.
Take ABC and the point spread, I say. I've stuck my neck out and stated first that I believe from my sources that Kelly will be the next coach of Notre Dame. I still believe that.
Kelly's second Big East title makes him coach of the year in college football in my opinion. He has done an incredible job with relatively few resources at Cincinnati.
Give him Notre Dame and he will produce a national championship within two years. As I have been saying all along. this guy is better than Lou Holtz. Yesterday, he proved it.

Better than Lou Holtz? Put down the crack pipe Sean. A Lou Holtz team would never play the HORRIBLE defense that Kelly's teams play. What he proved is that he is no better than Charlie Weis. What, exactly did he do to prove that he is better than Lou Holtz? How many National Championships had the Savior produced? Big East Champ? Big deal. He just won the NCAA equivalent of the tallest midget award by winning the Big East. Please support your wild assertions with some facts. Even your colleague Brian Boru thinks you are an idiot.

Wow! You better put down your moms laptop and pack your lunch little boy. The problem with blogs is anyone can write one. Even a 6th grader like yourself. You are not credible and nobody cares.

Notre Dame avoids MAC, takes easy way out of disappointing year Notre Dame didn't want anything to do with the MAC. If Notre Dame accepted a bowl bid, it likely would've landed in either Detroit for the new Little Caesars Pizza Bowl or the GMAC Bowl in Mobile, Ala., lined up across from a MAC opponent who would have furthered the Irish slide into mediocrity.

Better than Holtz? You've got to be joking.
