Just the other day Brian Kelly signed a contract to be the coach for Notre Dame starting next season. Kelly leading his former team Cincinnati to an undefeated season 12-0 with a Big East title. Along what that great season they earned the right to play in a BCS bowl game v. the Florida Gators. But Kelly had different things on his mind this week, not thinking about the blue and orange Florida Gators but the Gold, Blue and Green fighting Irish. By signing this contract with Notre Dame will he coach the bowl game? The answer is no. He is going to ditch his team that he has been the coach since 2006. He has brought the Bearcats out of the dark and into the national spotlight. He’s leaving to join a team that has been peril for the past 10-15 years. If you were a player for a team that has gone unbeaten for a whole season and you have the biggest game of your life coming up, and your coach decides to ditch you. How would you feel? Twenty years ago this was very uncommon, but now today everything is about the money. NO coach has any school pride and often coach at a school to get a different job. If you have any thoughts about modern day coaches let me know.
