Brian Kelly

It's obvious there was a lot about Cincinnati that Notre Dame football coach Brian Kelly liked.

Mainly, the Bearcats coaches he left behind.

According to reports on Rivals.com and ESPN.com, Kelly's new coaching staff at Notre Dame will include several current Cincinnati assistants.

Assistant coaches Bob Diaco, Charley Molnar, Mike Elston and William Inge will reportedly join Kelly and the Fighting Irish.

Diaco will be named the defensive coordinator, and Molnar will handle wide receivers. Elston will manage the defensive line, and Inge will handle outside linebackers.

The reports suggest that Molnar may also be named offensive coordinator.

It Looks like we finally have someone who is worried about the team and winning not like Charlie who only cared about himself and his image. I think even though next year is a building year it will be great go Irish!

I think it is great. I have been a NotreDame fan since a young boy in Parochial grade school in Indiana and watching Knute Rockne All American. I wish Brian Kelly the best of everything, especially a successful football season at ND. God bless him and the Irish players and coaches
