ND should just be patient and wait for the right guy. Maybe Edsall is it but I don't really think he beats out Kelly and some others.
Well let me see Corey, of the first 15 topics listed in Skybox right now exactly one concerns the Gators. The one I started on Finebum to keep it out of this topic. So if it wasn't for you telling me how great the guy is, which he isn't, then there would be no Gator topics. It is really kind of unsafe to start a Gator topic as you get the kind of comments you made above, are the all Gator comments or whatever. So try being what you claim Finebum is, but he really is not, and that is accurate. Back to the coaching hunt and good luck with your new coach whenever he may be announced.
it was a joke that Dave somehow relates everything to the Gators... which other people get.. just not you.. its ok. group hug.
Uh...guess what....uh...Finebaum is the one relating the ND coaching search to Meyer in his fine article on the subject. Therefore the discussion points back to......the Gators! :wink:
Oh I get it Corey. Your conversations with Dave have a way of turning into all you Gators. Make no mistake, I get it. Group hug.
You know....I have said before that the Gators have been in the limelight for quite a while now and sooner or later other teams would rise to the surface and UF would fade a little. I think we're gonna hear more about Bama wrt the SEC now rather than Florida. When Tebow finishes the Sugar Bowl UF will lose some of it's media luster and the scribes will be scrambling for juicy stories down in places like Knoxville where they ususally can find one these days and somebody willing to provide that quotable quote..... :wink:

Has there been an announcement Tim? I Haven't seen one? I Have seen that the UC football banquet is closed to the media, supposedly so Kelly can say goodbye to the players...but that is speculation. Although I have to agree that it has to be Kelly. No other coach available make as much sense as Kelly. I saw some reference that Edsall and some other coaches were contacted but their resume's are less than Kelly's.
Mark my words, ESPN after being a big Kelly supporter and offering nothing but praise for Kelly and the job he did at UC. Will now dig up dirt on him and start focusing in on the incident at CMU when he made a comment that was racially insensitive and they will dig up just about anyother thing that he's done and make a big deal out of it. None of this would be talked about if he stayed at UC.

kelly <r>O.K. I'm home now, popped open my first beer and put out the ND flag!<br/> <br/> <SIZE size="200"><s></s><COLOR color="green"><s></s>IT'S KELLY!!!<e></e></COLOR><e></e></SIZE> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E> <E></E><br/> <br/> GO IRISH! <E></E></r>
After... <r>The day from hell at work and not looking at the news since seven this AM I just heard about it and since I have been a Kelly guy since before we flushed the season away in the Navy game I am very excited to hear the news. <br/> Now the fun starts watching the staff form and recruiting. <E></E></r>
KELLY <r>Larry,<br/> <br/> I couldn't agree more. I haven't felt this good about ND football since before the Navy game. I've said it before but I too think this is a great hire for ND. Swarbrick got this one right. It's a great day for Notre Dame. <E></E> <br/> <br/> <IMG src="http://www.irishmusicmail.com/images/big/tdcd312.jpg"><s></e></IMG></r>
So what you're saying Tim is that Urban dodged the bullet and Kelly won't be coaching the Orange Bowl.
