No, but my degrees of separation from him is less than three, so I’m confident in my position.

PJ Fleck, Les Miles, Jim Tressel, Pat Narduzzi, Mark Dantonio, Paul Cryst, James Franklin, Matt Rhule, Bob Stoops……. do you need more?

I was hoping we would have made a move this year but I really didn’t think it would happen. I am pulling for Urban Meyer to win another championship at Ohio State this year, then hopefully next year, after we go another 4 and 8, go hire him. I believe he might come to ND if given the opportunity. He has won championships at two different universities and I believe it would appeal to him to do it at another school before he retires. I don’t believe any other coach has accomplished this. There is an ego factor here I am thinking too. Plus…if Urban Meyer comes, you can expect a winning program. He knows what has to be done and knows how to do it. (offense, defense, fundaments, special teams, conditioning, etc) Meyer would not be an experiment.

As I have stated earlier, I don’t have alot of time left to watch a bunch of “trees grow” (you know..you bring some unknown in and everybody starts saying…well he is going to need 3 to 4 years to get his own players in…and rebuild…I’m not interested in that) and finally, I just don’t like the thought of having to have help to get up out of a chair every time you need to yell and cheer for a Notre Dame championship run. So…when that day does come and there is a coaching change…hopefully the administration will grab the checkbook and head due east to Columbus!

You claim that Chris Peterson won’t leave the NW. Have you talked to him? Hold yourself to the same standard.

And you know they have zero interest because you’ve talked to them?

Brian Kelly has been given just about everything Urban Meyer asked for when he interviewed way back when.
