Irish Sports Daily was down for awhile. The forums are completley down. There is a rumor that ND agreed to terms with a coach.
I seriously doubt there is any truth to it..
The rumor is Stoops signed a contract a little bit ago...
I doubt any of it is true.. But we shall see...

I am from South Bend, In., where the Fighting Irish are located. I have loved them for all of my life, win or lose. I think that the biggest mistake that they ever made was letting Lou Holtz get away. He was one of the greatest motivators of all time. Local legend has it that there is an unwritten rule that Knute Rockne's total amount of wins will never be surp

Stoops is the guy. I have heard, thru a very reliable source that he has signed the contract today, and we can expect an announcement sometime on Friday or so (he needs to let OU know, etc.). I guess the hang up has been around guaranteed money, which has been cleared up.
ND used an agency to assist with the process (which is why he and Swarbick both can claim they didn't t

Ok, if you're Brian Kelly and your current team (Cincinnati) is ranked #5 in the country, and you are only three years removed from your previous team (Central Michigan) which is currently ranked #25 in the country, why would you want to become head coach at the 60th best program in all of College Football?
Think about that while also considering Kelly's star is

The first thing that comes to my mind after the denouement of the 2009 season and what looks like the Charlie Weis era is 'what a waste'. We had arguably three of the most dynamic offensive players in the country with Clausen, Tate and Floyd. Add to that a decent running attack (when actually utilized) and one of the best TE's in the business when healthy and you can't help but feel as

I cannot tall you how many people I have met that claim to be a big fan of Notre Dame football, but they never went to the school and most had never step foot on the campus, or even in the state of Indiana. So if you have red hair and pale that entitles you to be a fan? I can understand people who live around the campus being fans or alumni, but aside from that, how are you a fan of the

Get this skid mark out of my sight. what he did shall never be excused, ever. swarbrick should announce tomorrow or monday, decline a bowl game (if asked) and pay any amount needed to get a real coach who understands defense. i wish never to see CW ever again, he is a disgrace.
How can a HC allow a defense to do what they did. I mean even I could tell you just se

Its rumored that Chris Martin has de-commited to the Irish, apparently he text messaged the AP saying as much. I hope ND can bring some stability to the program and they dont wait too long to make a hire and hopefully they get the guy they are after and not look bad by reaching out and getting denied by too many suitors!

I mean I dunno what is going on with Stoops. ND offered him the job. He says he will be in Oklahoma next year but he wont go the Urban Meyer route and say "I AM NOT GOING TO NOTRE DAME!".
I have wanted Brian Kelly day 1. If you knew UC football pre-Kelly... It was terrible. Dantonio made it respectable but I think that had more to do with being in the Big East over Conference

The list shrinks.
Here is what I have found out today as far as the search for a new coach is concerned.
1) Butch Davis Great recruiter wants the job! Already won NC with the hoodlums in Miami,can get us back on the right track quickly.
2) Brian Kelly is drooling over the chance to pilot the Irish, the more i listen to him the more I think he would be a great fi

Can anyone give me some details on the NBC contract ND has. As a Cincy/Big East fan I would love to play ND every year. Was just curious if being independent was about tradition, money, freedom, all of the above?
Obviously the Big East needs another team as 7 conference games is just a bad number. Would like ND to join but i know I'm probably dreaming.

I've been watching Game Day this morning, and the above equation is clear. Somehow I don't think Tim Tebow is out leaving a bar with his girlfriend at 2:30 a.m. after a crushing/disappointing loss. Notre Dame would be smart to change their "Play Like a Champion" sign a "Play Like Tim Tebow" sign. If their sign said "Play like an over-hyped first round wannabe", then they co

The defense rolled over for Toby Gerhart, and Charlie's last game was another new low of his illustrious career: our first loss to Stanford in seven meetings. While the fact that this was likely Charlie's last game as head coach of the Irish was certainly highlighted by the media, an overlooked notion was that this was quite possibly the last game for the our two best players (and possibly two mos

Well, its over. This game was a good example of the whole season. The offense played beautifully. The defense might as well not even shown up. I am sorry, for every one good play Kyle McCarthy makes, he makes 10 bad ones, and they were showcased tonight. And he's our best defensive player. Teo is going to be good, but he is overly aggressive and gets pushed out
