Like Deja vu all over again, the offseason rumor mill surrounding the departure to the NFL of Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly has already hit full churn.
With six NFL coaching vacancies and perhaps even more coming, it’s no surprise to see Kelly’s name attached to some of these jobs. Like Jon Gruden, Bill Cowher and Tony Dungy, if an NFL job comes open, expect Brian Kelly to be linked to it.
Kelly took to the ESPN airwaves Monday to dispel any career rumors and pledge his allegiance to Notre Dame, saying that the control and continuity in college keeps his current job more attractive than the endless turbulence and turnover in the NFL.
