Betting Is Closed

NO way on Meyer unless ND drops their academic standards to that of Florida's. I can see Brian Kelley but the best pick for ND would be Harbaugh. He's arrogant, boorish, classless and a crappy coach, he's a perfect fit for the Domers.

Anyone know why they took it down?

It's amazing what a win over USC will do for a coach...at least in the minds of Vegas gamblers.

Chip Kelly? Ahead of Stoops? Really? Other than a win over USC, what has Kelly done? He has been a HC for all of 11 games, which includes 2 disappointing losses to teams he should have beaten. And he almost choked away the Rose Bowl last night. Still may choke away the Rose Bowl next week. As an OC @ Oregon in 2007, he was an intergral part of the late season collapse that cost Oregon both a shot at the NCG and the Rose Bowl when Dennis Dixon went down.

Notre Dame just failed miserably with a proven OC who was not a proven HC. No disrespect to Kelly, but that's exactly what he is at this point in his career. No way does ND consider candidate who is not a proven entity at the HC level, do they?

I'm suprised that Gruden is such a long shot.

Brian Kelly's job to lose.

I think that is a list of who ND wants to get. Weis was not their first pick last time round, it was who they could get.

Ferentz would be a nice fit. I'm still rooting for Harbaugh. That would really spice up the rivalry.

anyone who's done more with less in the past few years than pat fitzgerald? and he's right in their backyard. he'd be a calculated risk for sure, but how is he nowhere in this discussion?

Fitz in a Northwestern alum, team captain, and lives and breathes Wildcat football. He would never take that no win job of coaching at Notre Dame. The only possible enticement, aside from the money, would be the markedly lower academic standards in South Bend versus those in Evanston.
