I still think it will be Kelly.

 

BTW, Tim Tebow right now is the most poplar name in college football, the media cannot seem talk about anyone or anything else this season.

Tebow will have graduated and he has experience in coaching U.F. for the last few years :sssh:......Tebow to N.D.

I'll leave the topic at this. There is a reason the local rag is losing subscribers and money at a rapid rate, and bad/shoddy reporting is at the front of the line...

 

I don't think its reason 1 ,2, or 3.

 

Its a trend across the entire country and its based on the changing audience and increased competition from the web.

First let me say this may be a rumor. A buddy of mine who is a ND graduate passed this a long. He says he is not sure if it is true.

 

 

I can report to you today that Bob Stoops has not only agreed in principal to a deal but has actually signed the contract earlier today. I suspect a press conference will be called for Friday but it depends on how Stoops wants to approach OU.

 

This is not from a 'source'- I am the source. My brother works at the agency that has worked behind the scene since shortly after the Pitt game. No academic restrictions were lifted- insulting for anyone to raise that issue. The terms of the contract are straightforward and will not be discussed openly and will not be released publicly. I can tell you the issue centered about guaranteed money which is something we were concerned with but we have access to this required money and at this stage we will not be left short of our goals because of money- that was a fault of Mr. Kevin White.

 

Stoops desire to come to Notre Dame is an effort to build back ND like he did at OU. The talent is there and Stoops sees his legacy in more of restoring luster than maintaining programs. Stoops has been the ONLY target ND has reached out to. Brian Kelly, etc have never gotten a call from the agency or ND. From what I was told- Meyer had his chance back in 2005 and that ship has sailed. Stoops reportedly said "Bring on USC" when he signed the deal.

 

ps- I dont need more friends or 'phantom supporters' from a message board. I report this to you today because I have the information and ND could use a shot of good old fashion'good news'. I signed up today to provide

I didn't see your post before I posted just now and I will trust your statement. :eek:, This sure sounds like good news for ND!

Bobby Bowden to ND......I knew it!!! :clap:

Lets suppose for a moment that BK does, indeed, want to be head coach at ND.

 

If ND wants him to be the head coach and they agree to it in the next week or so what are the chances BK immediately goes to ND and does not coach UC in their bowl game?

Stoops to ND just makes more sense. I hope he is the pick.

Here's a link to the Stoops-to-ND rumor.

If he takes the job I highly doubt they let him stay around to coach the bowl game...

Just out of sour grapes? If he left and still wanted to coach UC in the bowl wouldn't he have that right considering all he has done there? He would possibly not want to and just go straight in to recruiting at ND though if that's what you meant.

Out of the need to find a new coach, get him in place and do what they can to keep the recruiting class together. It has nothing to do with sour grapes, it's a business and that business will have to move on if he makes them go that route...

Fully aware that this is "cart before the horse" but..

 

Any incoming recruits that BK would try to switch to ND?

I doubt it, as it doesn't seem his style. There wasn't a single recruit poached or kid that transferred to follow him from CMU. If he does go he'll have no problem keeping the class in place at ND in the fold for the most part, so it won't be an issue. Now if a kid specifically requests to follow him if he leaves, I don't see him turning the kid away...

I have to agree. Why keep the coach around to coach the bowl game? He took another job it is time for him to go and let the assistants run the program.

I agree. I was just saying that if it a Meyer-like situation occured would Cincy turn him down? Where Meyer stayed at Utah to coach the BCS bowl.

Just a guess, but I'm inclined to think they would say thanks for everything, best of luck at ND and lets both move on. Could be wrong there, but just the feeling I get from knowing the AD and his staff. No sour grapes at all, but they would want to get to work on moving forward IMO...
