He makes $1.6m at ND? That is insane. I could also see him snatching Elko from A&M to make an even bigger impact.

I don't know the figures, but he was very underpaid when he was initially hired.  They still owed Coach Schematic Advantage a shitload, and that combined with Kelly openly pining for the job meant he was eager to take whatever they offered.   What's publicly stated as his salary today might just be base.  Hell, maybe ND was taking advantage of him salary wise all these years because he wants to be there.

He signed an extension in September, so it's possible they opened the vault for him going forward.

I’d love to see the list of guys you are convinced would be “a good football fit.” 

As far as I see it, Urban is in a league of his own and the rest of the candidates (including BK) are in a much lower tier. I don't think BK is any better than Matt Campbell, for instance.

Dont worry ND lurkers we don't want that old fuck anyway. Everyone knows this is just a smokescreen to lay off the Urban scent.

We even got a bunch of bullshit NFL rumours going to confuse idiots as well.

Running a giant program like ND is considerably different than running Iowa state. BK has already proved he’s a capable head coach while nobody has a clue if Campbell can handle the day to day stress of a blue blood. If BK just signed an extension though is he worth the buy out?

I'm so fucking sick of hearing about ND's academic restrictions, you'd have to be a damn fool to believe they don't "help" their players just like everyone else.

I covered this earlier in this runaway freight train of a thread, but their higher academic hurdles are real. Kelly was the first HC to get exceptions, he got 5 per class. At a minimum, a recruit not excepted has to pass Calculus or the testing equivalent to get in. It’s real and anyone claiming that is doesn’t matter has a basic issue with simple math and logic. You can google the exceptions and Calculus stuff.

I founded BC with @HenryJames, Sailor Ripley and Scipio. Recruitocosm came along later and I posted the first article on that site. Eventually, stealing other people’s data and making shit up became part of the plan for posting recruiting content on the site and so I bowed out. I know exactly who Jesus is, Typsy/Nahlin and the others. HJ, @SydneyCarton, and @Huckleberry were all around early there as well. Not looking to rehash old shit, but yeah, JS is a sock, like I already said, and for the purposes I already referenced, as evidenced by what they’re saying with the handle right now - they know that Kelly is in talks. They should have just kept quiet for longer, but hey, they need those subs and clicks.

Brian Kelly has a proven record, and reportedly had a coming to god moment and changed his style a bit a few years back.

[victory88 5663]

A coach at a top 10 job, more like top 5, has his team in the CFP twice and said coach has played for a national championship in the last decade.... is going to leave that job to come to a program that is a mess right now?  Lmao, Kelly is trying to get as much ammunition and leverage to get a huge raise at ND.  I don’t see ND letting him walk away.  They will match whatever we offer.  You guys act like we did not see this same scenario play out with coach after coach after we fired Mack.

Texas had a plan in place with no backup when it got blown up. Looking back its difficult to say who we should have hired from the group that was available

BK is 102-38 at ND if you count those wins he had vacated for using ineligible players (which makes him kinda BDE in my opinion lulz) and went to a MNC game plus two CFP appearances now with basically having no chance of recruiting any pipe hitting mother fuckers. If that’s not better than strong/herman for this board then fuck everybody lol.

It’s a sock that they use when they want to post information but do not want to be directly accountable for it in case a source gets pissed that something got out there. Ketchum used a number of socks in a similar manner.

I wouldn’t say “no way”. I’d be fairly surprised and think it’s highly doubtful. 

Jim Harbaugh, Bill Callahan, Brian Billick, Dan Quinn, Gary Kubiak, Mike McCarthy, Doug Pederson, Ken Whisenhunt, Lovie Smith, and Jim Fassel made Super Bowls. Some of them won. It must not take much to stun you. 

Urban has almost nothing in common with almost all of those guys, but it doesn't matter. He's not joining that group. As others have said, he's a terrible fit for the NFL. Didn't Mensa ape most of his motivational shit from Urban? Even if it's a shitty version, that type of thing isn't going to work there.

One of those is not like the other bud. Urban doesn’t have a head coaching job. Texas also doesn’t have an opening for a head coaching job. We threw a Hail Mary at Meyer and it didn’t work. If BK wants the Texas job he can’t say anything until ND is done playing. He’s a couple wins away from being the all time leader in wins at ND. If saban slaughters him like many people think will happen then at some point you gotta think he’s tired of being the brides maid. Texas is a realistic option to field a team that can compete with bama.

My god...you can rationalize it anyway you want based on whoever is the hot candidate in this thread. He’s not leaving ND for Texas for anything you mentioned. He’s in the playoff with ND. A place Texas has never even sniffed. ND gets to custom curate their schedule, save for this year. Texas doesn’t. ND can win games against winless opponents and get moved to the top 5 based on name alone. Why exactly is he choosing Texas? Because he can’t field a team that can compete with bama, but at Texas he could? We haven’t proved that. And he’s outrecruited us this year based on rankings. So he’s gonna leave a blue chip to start a process where if he doesn’t win fast enough he’s on the hot seat? Yeah he’s not a fucking idiot. He’s got a way better chance of making the CFP where he is then he would coming to Texas.

He’s old, bout to be 60. He doesn’t have time to keep just making the playoff lol. 8 or 9 million reasons a year to try at Texas which CAN field a team that would win it all is all the rationale one needs. After 3 tries at ND and getting killed each time...it’s not happening there.

Tipsy Gypsy = Eric Nahlin

Jesus Shuttlesworth and Tipsy Gypsy created Recruitocosm which was the initial amalgamation, but it was free.

The really shocking part was Burnt Orange Nation didn't suck ass back then. It was probably the best Texas board when Recruiticosm began. Then Wescott Eberts, who was functionally illiterate at the time, took over and made it what it is today.

For the record, he's still functionally illiterate. I'm also surprised he hasn't gotten his ass kicked when he's gone out in Austin for being the hipster douche, over the top SJW wannabe that he is.

He may not even care about the money. And there is no guarantee he can turn Texas around before getting fired. Which at his age, he probably wouldn’t want to deal with as his “legacy”. Again, I don’t think he’s coming to Texas.

Gerry Hamilton-Urban tried to get the Cowboys job last year.Nothing has changed based on what I was told.He wants to coach again. It’s just where does he want that to be.

[George Clooney 378]

Kelly likely knows ND can’t realistically get better than what they are right now under his watch. Also, he saw in person in 2016 just how much easier it’d be to recruit at Texas. If someone is at all hamstrung at their current job, then they’ll look elsewhere. Forget brands/title history; everyone on here stupidly scoffed at Jimbo for moving from FSU to A&M when he was actually doing himself a favor by making winning titles easier.

Fickell is the guy we should go for. He’s young, hungry, wants to be on the big stage, will never get that at Cincy, and can clearly coach.
