Meh, to be fair it's not at all the same situation.

Cincinnati is always a stepping stone job, every job he's had leading up to ND has been a stepping stone job. He's climbed the steps quickly because he's had success, leaving ND for Philly would be a different type of decision imo. Don't see it happening even if it would be hilarious.

Absolutely, I don't begrudge him for booking it outta Cincinnati at all, just how he handled it. The whole "I've got the job I want and I'm here for the long haul" just before he goes an interviews elsewhere act is old hat to him. Just sidestep the question, bro, outright lying is weak.

I think ChallengeMe was alluding to a clause Urban had at one of his previous head coaching gigs. I recall there being something where if the job at ND ever opened up, he could void his contract and leave without punishment or something. I'm lazy and not going to look it up, but it was something along those lines I think. That ship sailed though. Urban didn't want the job after talking to Bob Davie, and I can't see why he would ever want to leave Ohio State. He's in a great position there, it's one of the pinnacles in college football, and he's setup well already to dominate the B1G for years to come. ND would be a lateral move or step down at this point for him.

He had a clause for scUM and OSU in each contract as well.

Let these fucktards get their hopes higher than a scissor lift on a windy day. Given their bottomless well of domer arrogance, they will take it as a given that Meyer will leave Ohio State for them. When he doesn't, it'll be like a swift kick to their shriveled little leprechaun nads.

Chicago Tribune Nausea Inducing Garbage

Click the above link at your own risk. If you've already had breakfast, you might want to wait until it's digested.

This is just one snippet:

...The appropriate reaction to such a humbling loss for a coach obsessed with winning a national title entails devoting all his energy into playing in the same game next January when this experience will benefit Notre Dame.

So the appropriate thing to do is to think that the great and holey (I won't call it Holy, even sarcastically) Golden Dome is more important than your own career, your own life. You must not seek anything for yourself. Only that which is good for the Dome is worthy of pursuit.

R-i-i-i-ight.

The sooner this trash returns to the oblivion of irrelevance, the better.

Compared with the playful 42-14 tap on the jaw that Alabama delivered to Notre Dame in the national championship game on Monday, coach Brian Kelly?s interview with the Philadelphia Eagles on Tuesday must have felt like a powerful sucker punch to the nose to Irish fans.

Although the result of the title game wasn?t a complete surprise, no one seemed to know that the visit with the Eagles was coming. With that one brutal blow, the terrific story of Notre Dame?s football resurgence lost its permanence, taking on the aspects of a moment in time instead of a growing trend.

Even if Kelly doesn?t go to Philadelphia, his interest in the Eagles job changes everything. It says that a coach who has shown no reluctance to move in the past, going upwardly mobile from Grand Valley State to Central Michigan to Cincinnati to Notre Dame in 10 years, isn?t beyond doing that again, even from a place that only last week he called ?the best job in the country ? NFL, college, high school, whatever.?

That remark, and others like it, have brought him a barrage of criticism. But before everyone starts piling on, we should be fair here: Kelly is 51, and if he has ever had an interest in becoming an NFL coach, this might be his best chance to do it. Deep inside, he might think that what happened this year is an aberration, and if he strings a few 8-4 seasons behind that 12-0, he won?t be near the commodity to NFL owners that he is now.

What?s more interesting is what effect his leaving could have on Notre Dame. A lot of us weren?t sure whether the Irish would ever rise again, as much because of the changes in the modern sports landscape than anything that had happened there. Until Kelly came along, it looked like a proud, once-dominant Irish program had been swept into the dustbin of history, that a combination of academics, independence, location and lack of success had move

Kelly has his eye on the NFL. Even in its resurgence, Notre Dame apparently is not the prestigious program it used to be. If it were, Kelly wouldn?t be weighing the merits of being the first Irish coach in 69 years to voluntarily leave for another coaching job.
