Notre Dame's Mike Brey announces retirement

[dahliaclone]

Will be interesting to see who they target

 

[nfrine]

Maybe Fran (Margaret) is coming home...

Maybe Fran (Margaret) is coming home...

You bite your tongue! Fran can't leave Iowa ****** yet . . . . not until he gets a Sweet Sixteen. So, he will be buried there.

 

[Beernuts]

Fran to ND makes sense, and I think both parties (Iowa and Notre Dame) would be pleased if Fran moves on.

He kind of fits the ND persona..unjustified arrogance.

Solid coach. Always gave me the creeps though

"Notre Dame coach Jerome Tang"

- Cyclone Larry, probably

 

[Sigmapolis]

Fran is just perfect for Iowa.

Just bad enough to underachieve every year.

Just good enough not to be fired.

Notre Dame isn't going to want that record and a 63-year old coach.

Is Chris Mack still untouchable?

"Notre Dame coach Jerome Tang"

- Cyclone Larry, probably

Priests don’t like Tang.

 

[CyCrazy]

Did he quit just now or after the season?

 

[erinmd32]

I think that would be a place fran would be interested in going.

 

[CyCrazy]

Is Chris Mack still untouchable?

Fo ND yes, for some middling SEC school no. See Bruce Pearl.

Don’t pay much attention to anything Iowa, but had no idea Fran was 63. Thought he was much younger (considering age of his kids).

Mike Brey has a Final 4, Elite 8, and Sweet 16 finish. ND is not hiring Mad Fran.

 

[BryceC]

ND absolutely sucks, they graduate basically everybody from this bad team, and Fran is not a quick turnaround guy. I think it’s be a terrible move on both sides.

My extensive Wikipedia research says 63...

End of season

Brey doesn’t fit that persona. Always thought he was a good dude.

Mike Brey is also 63.

Not sure his antics would go over well there.
