Re: Brian Kelly Interviews With The Eagles
How easy is it to get a college student killed on a windy day when you're coaching an NFL team?

With his track record, sort of surprised he waited this long to interview with another team. He could have snuck off campus for a day or two during that long six-week break between games.

Really? It must be that easy to sneak out for day or two to interview with an NFL team.

Lessons learned from Charlie Weiss: Strike while you can, before you regress to the mean because of how hard it is to win there, and because you're not the genius every guy named Tim or Tommy believes you are.

Until the Browns job is filled, I still hold out hope that Saban sneaks out on Bama. That would be such a great commentary on college football that both championship game coaches bail but the players are stuck until their eligibility is up.

Sadly for Edsall, that was a one-time play for him as it will be the only time he'll ever coach in a BCS game.

Good lord, not again, ESPN. You and your "sources".
Funniest line on the web story.... Kelly left the country after meeting with the Eagles and could not be reached for comment.
Yeah, I suppose if I had my ass kicked the way ND did on a big stage, I'd go into hiding for a while, too.

Re: Brian Kelly Interviews With The Eagles
This is such a lousy idea that I don't doubt for a minute that the Eagles would hire him. The Philadelphia media isn't gonna' be bullied and snarked at the way the Cincinnati and Notre Dame is. Also, that screaming til your red college **** doesn't work on millionaire athletes. ****ing Lurie and Howie the Nerd are gonna' make me miss Joe Banner and Andy.

If Notre Dame fans are mad, then Notre Dame fans are stupid.
How many of them climb the career ladder?
Like Double Down said, you strike when the iron is hot.
Like I said on another thread: For football coaches, the NFL is Valhalla. Not the minor leagues.

Kelly has zero NFL experience. It would be a huge mistake, for the Eagles and for him, to make the jump. I'm guessing he took the interview just to have the experience of interviewing for an NFL job and for leverage to make a little more money at ND.

Re: Brian Kelly Interviews With The Eagles
Difference is, do they have a contract when they jump for a different company to climb that ladder? If they have a contract, they should stick to it. How can they lecture their athletes about showing loyalty to the team when they're willing to jump ship at the first opportunity?
And the other sad thing is, these schools let the coaches out of their contract, yet many of them seem to have no problem restricting where athletes can jump ship. More college sports hypocrisy.

The contracts have buyouts written into them.
No one is breaking anything.

Careful. Remember what happened when the board discussed people walking away from their mortgages.

Well, yeah.
But do we know he did that?
