So it looks as if University of Cincinnati Football Coach Brian Kelly is off to Notre Dame to be the head coach there. For my overseas friends, that is American Football not Soccer.
University of Cincinnati Football fans are in an uproar both at him leaving and what they consider his “lies” along the way. I am sure if he told his players he was considering leaving that would have been great motivation going into the Pitt game. I say quit complaining. If you were a 2-10 team, no one would care that he is leaving. If not for him you wouldn’t be playing in a BCS bowl in the first place, so enjoy it.
Oh yeah and he will probably double his salary too…so who can blame him for that move either?

Just in case anyone is interested I’m available for a head coaching job. Football or basketball, I know about as much about one as I do the other. They have to do more than double my salary though, 2×0 is still 0.
You really got a lot of mileag out of the fingers didn’t you bearman?
Oooh…handn’t thought about that but obviously my favorite. Now I have two foam fingers.
who is brian kelly?
am i supposed to dig something with this??
should … should i laugh..now?
You …you should not.
Yeah, it’s funny how an athlete or coach becomes a ‘bum’ when they change teams. Being a Phillies fan, I can remember when Scott Rolen was a fan favorite here…’til he went to the Cardinals, lol. Oh well…
Good to see you Brogan…now what is up with your website link??
As an Irish fan, thank you for selling BK to us. You can have Charlie in return if you are so inclined.
I didn’t go to UC so I don’t really care..haha
I thought it was good for the program and good for the city but people move on.
Come on Bearman, give us overseas people some credit, we know what American football is ! I love the Red Soxs!
i like red soxs too. I like pink, green, white but my favourite are black soxs 😀
i dont like the ones with the little toes because it annoys me to have those things between my toes
Well then clean the jam once in a while.
See Bearman we know our sports!
I thought he coached the Indiana Hoosiers…. oh wait that was Brian Dennehy
Blahahahahahaahahahahhaha good one Nurse Myra !!!!
Thankfully Loon’s standards for humor aren’t that high.
That is why she keeps coming back.
You’re such a well rounded Bear.
My goal is to be a little less rounded.
But then what kind of a bearman would you be? We’d have to call you stickman instead?
Over here in the land of ‘proper’ football, (not ‘soccer – never ‘soccer’), we are in the middle of open season for firing club (‘franchise’) managers (‘coaches’ to you guys).
I always have to laugh at the disingenuous comments made by club chairmen and owners on such occasions….
“Jim has beena great servant of the club for thr past three years, adn has achieved greta things working within tight financial constraints. However we feel that the time is right for a fresh approach. We wish him well.”
Why can’t they just be honest? “Jim has been a fucking disaster. We haven’t been able to buy him out of contract for the past three years, during which time everything he has touched has turned to crap. The bloke is possibly the worst manager we’ve ever had, and has left us in deep shit. Eric, who runs the car park has been offered the job ona weekly contract, and we feel he do no worse than Jim did.”
It’s also one of the few professions I know, where you can get fired for being bloody useless, and within hours have a queue of people forming to offer you a job at their club.
Apologies for all the typos in that rant!
It’s kind of like CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies. For every one that gets fired, there are 10 job openings seemingly clamoring for them.
Funny, though I would like a Notre Dame foam middle finger for my den. Any chance of you selling those?
I think Notre Dame might have a problem with that one.
Someone needs to make foam fists! Logo’s, etc. could be printed on the knuckles (prison ‘tat style) and then one could still hold onto various beverages. If they were so inclined. 🙂
Bud Light had a “Foozie” that was a foam finger and a Koozie combined.
BLAST! I thought that one was my ticket to easy street! Foiled yet again! 🙂
Although I’m not a big sports guy I totally know what you mean. You’re always brilliant when you’re on the “right” team.
I wonder if top scientists get this when they move from one university to another.
Being as how Notre Dame sucks, I guess it doesn’t matter who they hire 🙁 I can’t tell you how many times I look for a good football game on the tube, and ND’s hogging the airwaves.
You can’t hate a guy for trying to advance himself. Well, you can, but it’s not fair. 🙂
i don’t think that ND is a good fit for Brian Kelly in any case. He did a good job in Cincy, but I feel a big let down again. Notre Dame needs a defensive mind at head coach and Kelly is certainly not the answer there. I love the Big East like the next person, but Notre Dame is that elite job that takes something more to thrive in. I’m not sure if Kelly is up to it.
Hey Aurie…thanks for visiting.
I think Kelly will do more than Charlie did. Will they be a national championship team maybe not but at least they can possibly get back into the rankings.
I love how Kelly now says that if it were for the National Championship he would have told ND that he was coaching UC in the game.
