Kelly to be named Notre Dames coach by friday?

[hurdleisu24]

Chicago Tribune - Brian Kelly held a meeting last week about the opening with representatives of Notre Dame within days of Cincinnati's Big East championship game against Pittsburgh, the Tribune has learned.

Talks progressed well enough that the official announcement Kelly will be Charlie Weis' replacement could come as early as Friday

One day after a source familiar with the Notre Dame coaching search said things were "heating up" with Cincinnati coach Brian Kelly, another coach has emerged.


There is mutual interest between Notre Dame and Connecticut coach Randy Edsall, another source said Wednesday.


Edsall is a solid defensive mind who showed great leadership on the Connecticut campus in the wake of the tragic death of player Jasper Howard.


The Huskies also beat Notre Dame this season.


On Tuesday, Stanford coach Jim Harbaugh reiterated that he had no scheduled meetings with Notre Dame. And Iowa coach Kirk Ferentz, also mentioned as a possible candidate, said he had not had any discussions with representatives for the Irish.

Hmm, Edsall would be interesting seeing as his name keeps getting tossed out for the KU job. For the sake of ISU, I am certainly behind any move that takes a top name off of KU's list!

Kelly is the bigger name, Edsall is closer to what they claim to want. Should be interesting.

Neither of them are a name. But, I bet Kelly would at least wait untill the season is over if there was a playoff. :wink:

Kelly seems to be a winner wherever he goes.

I guess I would call Kelly a name. If you're a fan of CFB and don't know who he is, well then you're not really a fan of CFB.

I'd say Kelly is a "name" now.
