Kelly went 54-9 his last five ND seasons, with two playoff appearances

I had felt that he, and ND, were not getting enough credit nationally for that five year run. Like I said, no hard feelings when he left. He had been there for twelve years (going 113-40 overall) and it was time to move on. Then, he ran his mouth incessantly. So, he had zero goodwill from ND people after that. He burnt all bridges. I doubt that he will be warmly welcomed back to campus, ever. I had thought since Saturday night that Virginia Tech may be his next job. He is a good program builder and a good CEO coach. He needs good coordinators and good recuiters on staff (he was a lazy recruiter, both at ND and at LSU). He has been a consistent 9-10 game winning coach throughout his career. He might be Tech's best prospect in this crazy coaching search year.

Would Virginia Tech be interested in Brian Kelly?

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
Sure.
VPI 1924 • 10/28/25 04:51 PM ET

EDGEMAN • 10/28/25 04:51 AM ET

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.**
FloydsBarberShop • 10/27/25 01:19 PM ET
Not for a while.....
TerryD • 10/27/25 07:07 AM ET
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

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

College sports spending is nuts…the buyouts, firing
