You just gotta love Notre Dame...

Honestly, who do they take us for.  Here's my favorite quote from Notre Dame's Athletic Director, Jack Swarbrick:
"I am very pleased that a thorough and extensive search has led us to a new head coach in Brian Kelly, who I am confident will help us accomplish our goal of competing for national championships."
A thorough and extensive search?  Really?!?!  Don't you mean "I am very pleased that a quick search in which our top candidates swiftly turned us down has led us to a new head coach in Brian Kelly"?

I'm not saying Brian Kelly is a bad coach, I'm not saying that he won't succeed at Notre Dame and I'm not saying that he wasn't a good choice for the Irish.  I'm just saying that he clearly wasn't Notre Dame's first choice and that it was obvious from the minute Charlie Weis' seat got hot that their first choices (Stoops, Meyer, etc) weren't interested in the job, meaning that Brian Kelly was the most likely to get the job all along.

I'd wish Brian Kelly luck, but that would be insincere on my part.
