Brian Kelly contract extension

What a joke.

Kelly and Swarbrick would both be fired by now if this was the NFL where accountability matters. However in the stupid ND administration everyone gets rewarded for stinking it up.

Count me down as a former ND fan who will no longer pay any of my hard earned on games.

Great news. Kelly has grown into the position and all its demands. Contracts are broken every day, but the likelihood is he retires from ND after a twelve year run, which would be pretty remarkable in this day and age. This can only help recruiting.
 
No surprise here. Like many of you I'm frustrated that Kelly has not gotten a major bowl win or beaten an elite opponet and his record against top 25 teams is underwhelming. However, this is likely the best move. Kelly continues to recruit well and be competitive for the most part. He runs a clean program and his morals/ethics/integrity as a person and a coach has never truly been a question. And even if ND were to fire him, who they could realistically replace him with and have the certainty that he would do better than Kelly?

Lots of integrity indeed! Tells the world Dayne Christ is his QB for the entire season and then benches him at halftime of the first game.

Well two thoughts. for an outsider I think Kelly has dome a pretty darn good job, Didn't you guys play for the Natty a couple of years ago?. Second contract length means nothing in CFB. Check the buy out clause.

So much for the Swarback hired Sanford to replace Kelly after one or two years of seasoning.... I would like to see some succession planning over this six year period, but appreciate that rarely happens in Div 1 football.

Not sure the program will make it without you

No coach ever tells a player you are guaranteed to start for more than the next game, and every player knows that. Much ado about nothing.
 
This was a "must" for Swarbrick to take care of. While he doesn't have 3 rings, there isn't someone who does ready to step in.

Extending him helps recruiting and continuity, which helps raise the bar.

There will certainly be clauses in the contract that allow ND out before 2021 if necessary. Just like BK probably has his own outs built in too.

I wonder if he asked for more money for his assistants...

Good bye, TOM. Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out.

I pray he asked for more money for more staff. And not only that I pray he was granted it. Really hard to land the top coaching talent only paying 1/2 of what other big boy schools do.
Nobody even knows how much our staff is paid.
 
Will be plenty of room for you as more and more people are jumping off with indifference because of enablers like yourself.
Enablers?

Gee, I didn't know that us dumb folks here on this here message board had that much influence.

Please proceed with jumping off. We appreciate it.

He got more money for the assistants in previous contract. I think they are more in line with the market.
 
Care to tell us who are the realistic alternatives you would hire to replace Kelly?
No one is realistic!!

The ND brand with similar power and statistics to the Yankees and Cowboys is not desired.

ND has no money.

And is not an in demand job.

Those are the board boob talking points for why we stick with a stinker like Kelly no matter how absurd they are as absurd people believe them.

Well hell why didn't you put in for the job. You seem as qualified as you think Kelly is.

Or are you just 'that guy'?

Another dope who would prefer to have no one standing on the ND sideline.
 
The ONLY thing that matters in a contract extension in CFB is the BUY OUT. Anybody know what it is? I would bet anything it is nowhere remotely close to Big Charlie's. That was a once in a lifetime and never again event.

I noticed you were careful to avoid the question asked.

There was no buyout in Charlie's deal. I am sure BK got a nice raise!

He is the right man for the job and far away the best man for the job. If for no other reasons than having the stones to accept the challenge. The mouth breathers are in compete disarray today.
