Not for a while.....

ND fans were not unhappy when Brian Kelly left. He had been there for twelve years, had done pretty well, but had lost the big games. It was time for him to go, no hard feelings. ND fans were grateful for his efforts to restore ND, but his abrasive personality and lack of big game results meant that no one was sorry to see him move on. But afterward (and for over two years), he ran his mouth. He talked about how he was finally at a place that would not restrict his genius, had the recruiting, the facilities, everything he needed to win national championships. Finally, he was at a place without academic and other restrictions, where his coaching would shine and not be held back. Well, "Big Game Brian", how did all of that turn out? Perhaps the "problem" was himself all along and not ND? That smile will stay a while......... ** Edited by TerryD at 10/27/2025, 7:23:04 AM

Would Virginia Tech be interested in Brian Kelly?
goldendomer • 10/27/25 12:47 PM ET
Can he fake an Appalachian accent?**
VT ChemE 1986 • 10/29/25 11:49 AM ET
He can do any accent
EDGEMAN • 10/29/25 04:17 PM ET
I sure hope not. I'm not sure I'd ever root for VT again.**
reestuart • 10/28/25 06:23 PM ET

VPI 1924 • 10/28/25 04:51 PM ET

EDGEMAN • 10/28/25 04:51 AM ET
we dont nee any coach with just a historical name either
1947Sunbowl • 10/28/25 09:36 AM ET
The Indiana coach was not a splash hire. Deon has
Big12 guy • 10/28/25 10:25 AM ET
Deion crushed it at his first coaching job
EDGEMAN • 10/28/25 12:10 PM ET
That's fair. **
Big12 guy • 10/28/25 12:44 PM ET
Honestly have no idea, after Fuente, I would say no, but after Pry, maybe.
Stech • 10/27/25 04:32 PM ET
no not unless he learns to say
Vippie1 • 10/27/25 01:59 PM ET
He may learn how to flatfoot and say that he now enjoys Old Time Music.....**
TerryD • 10/27/25 03:37 PM ET
No. I remember Kelly's Cincy lost to Beamer's VT in 2009 Orange Bowl.**
RandomAsianGuy • 10/27/25 01:33 PM ET
I hope not.**

Domer wanted him out while he was coaching at ND, you were different while
Stech • 10/27/25 11:11 AM ET
Kelly went 54-9 his last five ND seasons, with two playoff appearances
TerryD • 10/27/25 11:42 AM ET
You guys did pretty well choosing his replacement.**
EDGEMAN • 10/27/25 08:32 AM ET
His replacement is in line for the highest contract in football history.
manassashoo • 10/27/25 10:26 AM ET
ND will pay Freeman whatever is necessary to keep him
TerryD • 10/27/25 11:46 AM ET
They should, he is incredibly likable, I agree.**
Stech • 10/28/25 06:39 PM ET
Yeah, you guys got a good one in Freeman.
mancunian • 10/27/25 01:27 PM ET
Stanford or Harvard or Northwestern:-)**
Stech • 10/27/25 10:55 AM ET
This was inevitable. And this is not bitterness. He’s always been overrated
goldendomer • 10/27/25 12:51 AM ET
I’ve mentioned it before. In the NFL, someone has to be at the bottom
HokieAl • 10/26/25 09:25 PM ET
No doubt, and there are more on the table, Auburn, South Carolina & FSU are
Stech • 10/26/25 09:41 PM ET
Just wait for a big recession
MrBayAreaHokie • 10/26/25 11:40 PM ET

1947Sunbowl • 10/27/25 02:30 PM ET
Wall Street is doing fine, but Main Street is already feeling it 🤔 I own
Stech • 10/27/25 08:32 AM ET
I think I can finally see the tipping point for Wall St coming
HokieAl • 10/27/25 08:58 AM ET
College sports spending is nuts…the buyouts, firing
mancunian • 10/27/25 10:40 AM ET
