I expect Brian Kelly to be the next coach at ND. He hasn't been denying interest in ND. I think I read that Jim Rome asked him if he was sure he would be the coach at Cincy next year and he said, "Umm, no."

So, if/when Kelly takes the Irish job, who are the top candidates to replace him? I have no knowledge of any of the assistants at Cincy. Would they look at Skip Holtz or stick with a midwestern guy?
They basically recruit Ohio and Michigan as their bread and butter, I wonder if they tap the Central Michigan-Grand Valley pipeline again and look at Butch Jones or Chuck Martin.
We wish Dan Hawkins was available.
Heard on the radio last night Joe Schad said their were 4 finalists for KU Job:
Skip Holtz
Turner Gil
Butch Jones
Tim Brewster
Brewster is the interesting one since he is already in a BCS conference and Minnesota just built the new stadium, etc.
Also, ESPN is now saying there still might be some mutual interest between Edsall and KU
Another Holtz at sorta lame? omg
All the reports state Brian Kelly to Notre Dame. Never heard Holtz' name involved there.
Will be interesting to see who shows up on Cincy's radar though.
Butch Jones is the natural fit.
Tuberville announces no interest in the Gayhawks. Butch Jones of CMU apparently does have interest.
J.D. Brookhart out at Akron.

I should hope Butch Jones has interest in KU. He's even been talking to Marshall despite the fact they've got no money. He seems to want out of Central Michigan in a bad way. I think he sees the writing on the wall and knows he will never have a better 2-year run at CMU than he had the past 2 years. Better get out while the gettin's good.
Yeah Akron picked up a steal with Rob Ianello.
All the musical chairs could leave Cincy with limited options.
They seem very conservative with salaries and commitments, since they didn't even try to keep Kelly there by upgrading facilites as they "promised" him they would.
Tuberville or Fulmer would have to reduce their "market value" to go there, but they would probably be just fine with bringing in another "up and comer" type coach. Got to think Turner Gill would have some natural fits with knowing the recruiting area, but they probably have someone in mind already.
Keep in mind they've only been in the Big East for 5 years now and play in one of the smallest (if not the smallest) stadiums among BCS schools.

It seems Harbaugh to Kansas is picking up steam.. . :sad2:
Hoping this is just Harbaugh trying to get more money out of Stanford.
It's picking up a lot of steam. I'm starting to think they are in negotiations.
I don't disagree, but...
I don't understand that move at all unless it's entirely about money.
I believe his wife is from the area...
That's still the definition of lateral move, though. In fact, that's more of a step backwards for Harbaugh. I can't believe he doesn't want to just get 8 wins next year with Luck and hope that Rich Rod blows it again and then bam, he has his dream job.
