All FB coaching rumors and speculation

[madguy30]

Was he for sure USCs top choice? I would think ND makes a hard play for Fickel. The last Cincy guy the hired worked for him. Could also see Urban Meyer. That would be a job he would be interested in.

If nothing else Meyer gets the media attention. Works out well for both parties.

Kelly said it would take $250 million to leave ND. LSU got that or was he just full of BS?

 

[jsb]

Wouldn’t JP and CMC have already met by now?

Yeah, but whatever they agreed to is probably torn up.

 

[ClonesInDallas]

If ND passes on Marcus Freeman, we should hire him

Let's discuss realistic options, not pipe dreams

 

[LeaningCy]

I feel very strongly that Brady Quinn should have the final say in ND's coaching search.

This potential development doesn't worry me.

Not bad timing imo.

Get these movements out of the way in an off-season in which we just took a preseason top-10 team to 7 wins.

 

[BigJCy]

I agree Campbell probably isn't even in their top 3, which is why I'm not worried

Just a few fans on their message board but they don't seem to want him.
One post: "I will lose my **** if we get Campbell he is the most overrated head coach in CFB. he can’t even beat Iowa"

Same as before, we'll hire Manning or Heacock.

Golesh?

Crap ton of $$$, Crap ton of local talent, and also I think sometimes people just want to make a change. Kelly has been there like 11 or 12 seasons now?

He’s what 61? If they are waving 12 MM year around, it’s your last big contract. Grab the money and run.

 

[jsb]

Golesh?

Whoever. It doesn't really matter.

I see one report out of LSU it may be for $120 million. Not 250 but a hell of a lot of coin.

Yeah, but whatever they agreed to is probably torn up.

Heard the pen was dry. They were going to sign it tomorrow when they got to work.

There’s no way He was USC top choice. You think Riley was their fallback? LOL. Just because media reports said that doesn’t make it true.

Candle or Heacock.

 

[bawbie]

Wonder how much his chances are/were damaged by the goal comment. Fans on Twitter are roasting him for not wanting to win a conference championship...

All BS, but wonder if that could ever factor in.

Zero. Absolutely zero.

He's a coach. He's full of BS.

Yeah we’ll never win 7 games again. It’s over

Of course not, but it is a big deal and it would suck. I'm not sure why we always have to act otherwise.
