The last year Kelly coached at Central Michigan, he actually coached two bowl-winning teams. He led Central to a win in the Motor City Bowl then, when there was no one left to coach Cincinnati in their bowl at the Rogers Centre in Toronto, he took them over early and led them to a victory over Western Michigan. The interesting thing is that he used Dantonio's offense against Western, figuring it would be easier for the coaching staff to adapt than the players. Obviously, it worked.

He is also the ony person to coach two different football teams to victory over a common opponent in the same season.

What Cincy runs is nowhere close to what WVU does.

Are You kidding?..Looks almost like a carbon copy of WVU's offense...Except Cincy throws it a bit more...I like it either way...It's a fun offense to watch :rock:

If Kelly does indeed end up in Knoxville, who on his staff do you think he brings with him? I'm all for Kerry Coombs making the trip. He's undoubtedly Cincy's best recruiter with all his recruits coming out of Ohio. He currently has a couple of 4 stars committed to Cincy along with a bunch of 3's.

Anyone else on his staff worth bringing with him?

I'd hate to have Kerry Coombs.
At Colerain he was a terrible, terrible sport. Added to beating them actually.
Can't stand him.

He shouldn't bring anybody because according to Chewwy none of them can recruit a lick.

It amazes me also. I guess it's more important to some people to have more stars on signing day than to have a good coach.:unsure:

...or more important to have a "big named coach" or "win the press conference". Like Mike Hamilton said about 2 weeks ago, forget winning the press conference... win the Southeastern Conference.

That's the question...could Fulmer have won if he had started Jim Bob Cooter?

Fulmer could probably win with his third string quarterback if he would play him. But of course, BJ can't keep from tripping over his linemen (while Crompton was running into our RB's)... :no:

Go and listen to Basilio's show today. It's all about Brian Kelly. Some of his former colleagues at CMU and GVS giving him glowing remarks saying he is more than ready for a big time job like UT. This is coming from people he has worked for or with in the past that know him. Saying he knows how to sell the program, develop talent, and get players to believe in what he's selling them. That's a good coach. He may not be everyone's number 1 but this guy is more than ready for a job like this.

Kelly's people can say whatever. The numbers the facts that is show he is a below average to horrible recruiter. He is a great field coach no one has said anything else. His demeanor is of a drunk and other rumors have said as much. I do not know if they are true but they fit. He has attitude with recruits as the rumors go which explains his terrible results in that field. We would have to keep him away from recruits if we are going to sell. He will blow it with a few words if he is in a big time recruits living room.

Come on Chewwy, You're grasping at straws here. For someone as smart as you claim to be i would expect more from you.

Yeh I would be shocked if Kelly is the pick. If so Hamilton will be packing his bags IMO.

Now, come on... that's just foolish. Do you really expect him to pack his bags after making a hire? You're not even going to give the new coach, whomever that may be, a chance to prove his worth? I think you should change your screen name to Vol4Now... :no:
