BRIAN KELLY: Thank you, Jack. Growing up as an Irish Catholic in Boston, Massachusetts, I'd come home from church after driving my parents crazy and listen to the reruns or the replays of Notre Dame football, and indelibly etched in my mind,….
And so when you have those types of memories of Ara Parseghian, Joe Montana, Father Hesburgh, it makes today seem like a dream.....
… and Gracie came up to me, grabbed me, hugged me and said, "Dad, I'm so happy for you. I know this has been your dream. And I'm sad for me just for a little bit. Is that okay?" And I kissed her, and I said, "You know what, that's what is so magical about this is that my kids know that this was a dream for me."
There is a football coach and then there's the football coach at Notre Dame, because nobody, nobody does it like Notre Dame. The excellence in academics and in the athletic arena is second to none,
Good find. I'm glad he did have this job slated as a dream. Makes me feel better about his commitment. However that doesn't mean he also didn't have aspirations to coach in the pros.
I suggest that you back and slowly reread your posts. I think it should be pretty obvious.
"Doubt he was a huge ND fan growing up like you and me".

Uh no. How does that make him looking to the pros as not being loyal. I was wrong about his ND affiliation growing up but what does that have to with coaching in the pros.
Uh, yeah.
Seriously?? You still don't get it? You've got to be kidding. Sorry, I don't know what else to tell you.
Ara never had any interest in professional football. Bear Bryant, Johnny Vought, many other pretty successful college coaches have NEVER had an interest in coaching the pros.

During the Saturday presser, before Monday’s BCS NC game, kelly categorically denounced any interest in the NFL knowing darn well he had an Eagles interview on Tuesday.
“Are you a college coach or has the NFL ever been a desire for you?
COACH BRIAN KELLY: No, and I think when I took the job at Notre Dame, I think I said it was a dream job.”
After his interview was discovered….
"Like every kid who has ever put on a pair of football cleats, I have had thoughts about being a part of the NFL," Kelly said
He’s a born liar.

Wrong?
I am not wrong, ND is a destination job. As soon as a coach starts looking for greener pastures, you immediately show him the door. If a guy starts looking around that means his heart is not in it.
So every coach that wants the ND job better expect to be here for life, unless he gets canned. Got it.
This is the same arrogant crap I argue every day with my buddies that ND is not. thanks for proving me wrong.
This is Total baloney. What you say may be true at a surface level, who hasn't looked at the job ads? But sheesh, this guy spent 3 years telling kids about the importance of sticking things out, dealing with adversity, playing to win, etc. etc. etc........then he bolted Cincinatti and left them hanging in the most important game of the program's history.
He was absolutely preparing to do the same thing to Notre Dame before the Alabama game. Now it is apparent he's been talking to USC and whoever else might hire him.
No wonder his teams stink. He's more focused on leaving than coaching. I say we give him more time to focus on his job search. A LOT more time.
Did he or his agent talk with USC. I haven't seen nor heard him say he sought them out and had a discussion. This may be true can you supply the evidence.
