Names of potential replacements are flying left and right, up and down, forwards and backwards. Seemingly every name, whether logical or not, has been thrown out there as a potential candidate.
One of the more illogical names to be tossed around is that of Notre Dame Head Coach Brian Kelly. While a certain subset of Oregon fans are clamoring for the return of a certain Coach Kelly, it ain’t the one named Brain.
The rumor apparently started with a screen grab showing flight information for a private jet going from South Bend (where Notre Dame is) to Eugene (where…)
And while the Brian Kelly to Eugene talk seems to be almost all smoke and no fire we thought, because you never know what can happen (not many expected Brady Hoke to be named Defensive Coordinator) that we would take a look at 5 things Oregon Football fans need to know about Brian Kelly –
- He has a 59-31 record at Notre Dame, including a 12-1 2012 season that saw the Fighting Irish’s one loss come in the National Championship game to Alabama.
