November 30, 200916 yr Author Dungy would be a great fit. I'll go out on a limb and say Meyer. Why not? I mean I doubt it happens, but who knows Tebow is now done in UF.

November 30, 200916 yr If they really want him, then this is going to be their only shot IMO. They need to play it cool. Wait until after Saturday and see what happens. I think UF will win and this will all be for not, but I'll stick with my prediction if only to not pick the obvious choice in Stoops. I bet he wouldn't turn down 10 million a year, so if ND wants him so bad, pony up and make him an offer he cannot refuse.
November 30, 200916 yr Received this in an email... Stoops to ND As mentioned before, most universities hire an outside consultant to look at a number of candidates and use back channels to communicate about coaching positions. In this day and age, obviously information needs to be kept confidential when peoples’ jobs are being talked about and that is the way it’s done now. From the information I have gathered, the consultant that represents Notre Dame has talked to people from the Stoop’s party and have an agreement in place verbally for him to accept the job. So, when Bob Stoops says he hasn’t talked to Notre Dame, he’s telling the truth. When Jack Swarbrick says he hasn’t talked to any coaches, he’s telling the truth. A middle man (lack of a better term) handles these things confidentially. What I have heard from five different sources is that the Stoop’s party has agreed verbally to most of the contract between the two parties and is just waiting to get the final word on if his financial demands are going to be met by Notre Dame. I was told Weis will be let go early this week and if all goes through with Stoops, he’ll be announced as head coach late this week. I’m not citing my sources obviously or naming the middle man as I don’t want to screw anything up here if this information is all correct. These things can fall through and as I said, I’m going from sources here, but there is a lot of fire here, not just smoke. I will say that the sources go from the Oklahoma side, to the Notre Dame side and to neutral parties. So, at this point all the information I am getting is that once the contract has ink on it, Bob Stoops will be the next coach at Notre Dame. The last step is monetary from what I have been told. I have also been told that Brian Kelly is not an option at all, period. The reasons cited to me were his direct and indirect involvement with both Gary Hart (while he was a student at Assumption) and John Kerry during campaigns.

November 30, 200916 yr Brian Kelly. He's the only one that hasn't really come out and denied the rumors or said he is staying. He's done quite a bit of dancing around the question.

This is also something that came up as I was talking to my national source Friday. Most signs I have say BK is not really an option for ND...
