Brian Kelly, next Notre Dame head football coach!
According to ESPN’s article, Cincinnati head coach Brian Kelly will be the next coach of the Notre Dame Fighting Irish. Despite Kelly’s numerous denies that he will take the job, he has accepted and will be in South Bend next year.
In Kelly’s three seasons at Cincinnati he went 34-6, back to back Big East titles, two straight BCS bowl berths. Before Kelly arrived in Cincinnati, they were not know as much of a football program, but Kelly turned that program around and his undefeated record this season almost got him a shot to play in the national championship.
Kelly runs the same sort of spread offense that Notre Dame ran this year. Cincinnati as a bit more pass heavy, but that came with the outstanding play of their quarterback Tony Pike and receiver Mardy Gilyard.
Notre Dame fans should be excited because they got a good one in Kelly!
