I would love to see the SEC give Cincinatti a slutting. Nothing would make me happier than to see them fail miserably.

i saw a bowl projection on either fox sports or cbs sports that had us playing Boise St in the Fiesta

I hate Cincinatti, because they play in a weak conference and I'm tired of Brian Kelly talk when he hasn't proven to be any better than Weis. Cincinatti has done anything of note. So, I would love to see them get blown out just to show what a bunch of fakes they are. Plus, when I think about it, I've always hated Cincinatti in addition to the newfound hate. It's a ghetto school and a ghetto program. That's all it will ever be to me.

Kelly has only won at every program he's coached at in college. I can understand that you're mad about the We want Brian Kelly ppl, but it's not because he's not worthy of the job. I'm not saying he'd be better or worse than CW at ND, but we dont know and if CW doesnt get it done this yr then I hope Kelly is one of the guys interviewed, b/c like I said, he wins whereever he goes.

You may be tired of the Brian Kelly talk, but the talk is well deserved. Brian Kelly has been the head football coach of Cincinnati for the last 2+ years, and in that span Cincy’s football program has reached heights I doubt anyone would have ever imagined. Before Brian Kelly, only one time in Cincy football history was the team ranked in the top 25 and only once had won 10 games. In 2007, Brian Kelly’s first year, Cincinnati won 10 games and finished #17 in the final AP rankings. In 2008, Cincinnati won 11 games, played in a BCS bowl, and again finished #17 in the final AP rankings. Today Cincinnati is ranked #8, its highest ranking ever. He has taken one of the worst Division I football programs and turned it into a winner. Brian Kelly’s achievement is even more remarkable when you consider the difference in talent that Cincy possesses compared to the elite football schools like Notre Dame, Ohio State, etc. Cincy has virtually no chance at signing 5 and 4 star recruits, and basically rely on the leftovers that the elite schools pass over. According to Rivals.com, the Bearcats’ recruiting classes were ranked 102nd in 2006, 89th in 2007, 67th in 2008, and 60th in 2009 while Notre Dame’s classes were ranked 8th in 2006, 8th in 2007, 2nd in 2008, and 21st in 2009. One of Cincy’s starting linebackers, JK Schaffer, was not even rated by Rivals.com. Can you believe that Demetrius Jones, the former Notre Dame qb, is another starting linebacker, and another linebacker is also a converted quarterback. One has to wonder how does Brian Kelly do it? There is no way Demetrius Jones, JK Schaffer, or any other Bearcat starter would make Notre Dame’s lineup. And yet somehow, Brian Kelly has been producing the better team. Cincinnati has no business ever having a better football team than Notre Dame, but they have been during Brian Kelly’s tenure. Need some proof besides rankings? Just compare the results from last year’s common opponents. Last year Charlie Weis’ team and Brian Kelly’s team faced 3 common foes: Pittsburgh, Syracuse, and Hawaii. Notre Dame crushed Hawaii, but lost to the 2 (what you call β€œweak conference”) Big East teams, Pittsburgh and Syracuse, while Cincy won all three of their games against these same schools. This is why people are talking about Brian Kelly. He is a winner and has been winning with a lot less talent. The people who are talking must all be imagining the same thing: What are possibilities of Notre Dame football if someone like Brian Kelly had access to resources, talent, tradition, and mystique that Notre Dame possesses.

Β 

As a side note, I remember a radio interview with Brian Kelly shortly after he was named head coach of Cincinnati. Normally the Cincinnati coaching job is temporary stop for coaches who are looking to move onto bigger and better programs. He was asked if he was planning to stay at Cincinnati for the long term. He answered that he was planning to stay at Cincinnati for a long time, but that β€œyou can never say β€˜never’”. He said something like β€œthat if a school like Notre Dame was to come calling then you have to listen”. It was rumored that Tennessee had offered him their head coaching job last year before giving the job to Lane Kiffin. For the record, Brian Kelly is Irish-Catholic so it only seems natural that Notre Dame would be his dream coaching job.

Β 

As a huge ND fan, I truly hope that Charlie Weis and the Irish will be successful this year, and all the Brian Kelly talk will be a moot point. However, if Notre Dame falters and Cincinnati wins another Big East championship, I guarantee you that Brian Kelly will be on the short list of ND coaching candidates.

I saw cincinatti play the rainbows when they came out here at the end of last year-- after all the kelly talk-- the high rating--i expected to see a good looking team--- even though a weak hawaii team let the game slip away at the very end--the cincinatti team was downright awful looking-- i know little about their little program -- and not much about brian kelly-- and im sure he is a fine coach-- but IMO cicny is just way overrated-- they were way overrated last year-- and this year is no different-- i mean we get butchered because of our schedue-- we pay a huge price from pollsters and pundits alike-- yet cicny-- with their miami of ohio-- fresno state--SE missouri state-- i mean come on'---- the big east isnt much of a conference it itself-- then you add that non conference crap--i dont get it--and the BCS press are constantly trying to puff up this big east team or that one every year---right now cincy is the flavor of choice---IMO they will loose to south florida-- pitt and west virginia-- the only decent teams they play this year----so i have no grudge against kelly-- dont care about the kelly for weis talk--- but do resent any program that seems to get a free ride-- bias from an ND fan whose team cant even get a paid ride---bottom line-- cincinatti is NOT a top ten team !-- aloha- go irish!

Keep it civil guys.

Thank you :grin:

Again welcome goldenboy and a nice post. For the record Newport Ky is just across the river from Cincy, in fact really an appendage.

Welcome to DD golden boy.

Helluva second post bud.

Now back to topic.

I would love to see an ND-Miami match up.

Those are two teams playing really well right now.

The history of the two programs would definitely be a highlight before the game was played.
