After 9 excruciating days of waiting for the future head coach of Notre Dame to be announced, it is all about to end. ND has a press conference tomorrow, but will it bring rejoicing, shock, pain, or tears? It is safe to say I have developed a newfound disrespect for Mr. Joe Schad, who has been running Irish fans through a hurting rollercoaster of emotions. Notice how after a few misled reports, though, ESPN's resident guido has managed to treat the typewriter as if it had the swine (Wein! ~courtesy of Harper). Ah yes, silence is Golden.
Through all the rumors, tweets, and various reports and speculation, I believe the Irish face three options:
1. Brian Kelly. Word has it (take Word for what it is these days) that Coach Kelly has scheduled a team meeting at 4 pm right before his 5 o'clock Cinci team banquet. Could he be telling them Goodbye?
2. Randy Edsall. Much respect for the man, and I truly admire what he has accomplished not only this season but his entire career. With that respect, this is a giant risk for the program as he has never led a big-time program before and I believe Irish AD Jack Swarbrick knows better.
3. Unknown coach. There is a slim possibility that through all of the fanfare and media frenzy, Swarbrick has managed to go Bin Laden with a possible candidate. I have no idea who this would be, but I doubt that Kelly and Edsall are our only two options right now. There is something we are not being told, as this search as been about as stealth as the Alaskan Assassin.
Looking forward to posting tomorrow or this weekend on the New Head Coach of Notre Dame.
