Bob Stoops going to meet with Notre Dame

  whoever takes the job it'll be a while before that happens

  Oooh boy, I'd think Oklahoma could get somebody a little better than Brett Venables
• Lovejoy1984

  

  Just like the Buckeyes could've gotten someone a little better than Jim Tressel when they did.

  That somebody was supposedly Mike Belotti from Oregon; he flew out here and was ready to accept the job; aren't you happy we didn't hire him? We would have gone thorugh this coaching search thing again just this past year, or Chip Kelly would be the head coach at Ohio State

  Not sure I would be smilling just yet. Nothing is signed sealed or delivered at this point. And if you don't think Stoops isn't walking in with some demands...your kidding yourself. He isn't going to walk away from Oklahoma without getting everything he wants.

  You could say that about any big time candidate in regards to demands. I'm okay with that as long as it's not too extreme. Is it a done deal yet? I'm not 100% sure but I have a feeling that it is. Maybe my smile is ill-timed. Maybe not. We'll find out soon enough.

  I can see the wheels in motion late tomorrow evening/early Monday morning

  I'm realistic enough to understand that a new coach isn't going to change the face of Notre Dame overnight, but getting a guy like Bob Stoops makes me happier than hell. It would be the best hire made since Holtz - someone with a PROVEN resume.
• darbypitcher22

  

  It makes the whole fan base happier than hell
• Mr Pat

  Sign me up for "happier than hell" if he gets signed.

  I think it'll happen; it won't be Brian Kelly thats for sure
• DaBrowns41

  I still think Brian Kelly will be in ND next season. But Bob Stoops has a great opportunity if they extend it.

  After watching his defense this year, I'm not sure he'd be much of an upgrade.
  
  MUCH of an upgrade ladies and gentlemen.......MUCH.
• darbypitcher22

  

  Brian Kelly is an offensive coach; he makes no bones about it.
• DaBrowns41

  Notre Dame has been an offensive program. When has ND ever been known for defense?
  
  Kelly is a perfect fit.
• Mooney44Cards

  

  So is Charlie Weis :rolleyes:

  I stand corrected.
  
  Let me rephrase. Since 2000, when have they ever been known for defense?
• darbypitcher22

  

  Lou Holtz teams usually played solid defense...
  
  Except for that trip to The Shoe in '95.... oops! did I just mention that?

  SHHH!
  
  ND is on a bowl game "streak"! Don't talk ish about the almighty Golden Domers. It only took them 13 seasons to beat a WAC team to get on that one game bowl "streak"!

  I sense concern. You're the type to lose sleep over ND success.
