According to multiple media outlets, Notre Dame has hired Cincinnati Coach Brian Kelly to be their next coach. We also know according to Cincinnati TV Station WCPO that Kelly has already informed his assistant coaches and will be telling his team tonight at the teams season ending awards banquet.

This isn't a total surprise, Kelly teased that it could happen sometime this week. The timing of the banquet just makes it fortuitous. From what it sounds like, Kelly will not coach the team in the Sugar Bowl, rather Assistant Jeff Quinn will handle that duty.

We think this whole thing stinks. Not that Kelly took the job, but rather the timing. Why does Notre Dame have to do this now? Why does the NCAA allow this stuff. Kelly isn't going to suffer from it and neither is Notre Dame, no, the ones who have to suffer for it are the kids at Cincinnati who get rewarded for there hard work by their coach bailing out on them before the biggest game in school history. Nice!
Video to come later this evening when the inevitable statement is released.

I think Kelly will fit in extremely well at Notre Dame. He is a very talented offensive mind and a charismatic leader. I feel sorry for the Cincy players that lose their head coach right before they play the biggest game of their lives.
