Games at ND in 2028 and at Alabama in 2029.

I hope to goodness that Brian Kelly is gone by then.

amazing to think the game at Notre Dame would be in year 3 of whatever the next iteration of the college football playoff is.

Sooner or later you'll get a coach you approve. Only missed on what, ~5 coaches since Holtz?

That is what they said about Alabama too, when the likes of Ray Perkins, Bill Curry, Gene Stallings, Mike Dubose, Dennis Franchione and Mike Shula were the head coaches there from 1983 until 2007.

(I am an ND fan who doesn't mind Brian Kelly. I am just responding to your post to point out that this happens in other places, too. I could list Oklahoma, Texas, Southern Cal and Ohio State in that group as well).

What? Bama is gonna travel that far north? That has to be a first.

Uh, Stallings did win a national championship in his tenure. Definitely better than anything that Notre Dame has had since Holtz.

If he's still there in ten years it means he won a couple of championships. I hope he's there.

Honest question, what can you possibly like about him? His personality is off-putting and he arrogant as Saban with Weis results.

Maybe, but the longer Dabo stays at Clemson, the less reason he will ever have to move to Alabama.

You kind of missed the overall point.

Alabama had six coaches in 24 years. Stallings won a title, but most of the time they were not that successful and Bama fans weren't that happy with that group.

ND has had five coaches in 22 years......that was my main point to the original post. Overall, more the same between the two than different.

Call me crazy but I can see Dabo as a lifer. He wears his heart on his sleeve and he would continue to be immortal there. He already reached the pinnacle so he can probably do it again (prob this upcoming season). Why would he leave? Outside the obvious of being money whipped of course.

I don't care one bit about a coach's "personality" or what he may say to reporters in press conferences.

I don't really factor "personality" into it. I figure that I may personally find most coaches to be arrogant or "off putting".

I said that I "don't mind Brian Kelly". I didn't say that I wanted to attend a barbeque or have a beer with him. I likely wouldn't want to with any coach, to be honest.

Why don't I mind him? He is 69-34, a much better record than Davie, Willingham and Weis. That is the extent of it.

It's okay to be off putting if he wins.

2010 Notre Dame 13 8 5 0 Sun Bowl-W
2011 Notre Dame 13 8 5 0 Champs Sports Bowl-L
2012 Notre Dame 13 12 1 0 .BCS Championship-L Vacated 0-1 recored
2013 Notre Dame 13 9 4 0 .Pinstripe Bowl-W Vacated- 0-4 record
2014 Notre Dame 13 8 5 0 . Music City Bowl-W
2015 Notre Dame 13 10 3 0 . Fiesta Bowl-L
2016 Notre Dame 12 4 8 0
2017 Notre Dame 13 10 3 0 .

Three good years out of 8. One of his good years has been vacated.
It is sad when the older fans give up and think this is the best we can do.
Technically BK has had to vacate a lot of his victories (21?)

If it were anywhere but Alabama I would agree with you.

But, we are all aware of Dabo's history and his story.

Dabo's story and past are tied deeply with UA. There is only one move for him that would be an upgrade. That's to go home.

I absolutely love the way that Notre Dame schedules. They really aim for a national schedule, year-in and year-out. Similarly, with scheduled upcoming games against Ohio State, Michigan, Arkansas, Wisconsin and, now, Alabama, they are going for matchups against some of the most storied college football programs. Bravo, Jack Swarbrick!

Wonder who will be coaching both teams in these games?

ND has had five coaches in 22 years......that was my main point to the original post. Overall, more the same between the two than different.

Lets see, Stallings in his 7 years went 70-16-1 and finished in the top 5 3 times in 4 years, and top 25 6 of 7 years.... A .810 winning percentage.... ND had no one remotely close to that. Heck, Stallings winning percentage was better than Holtz was. So yeah, not discounting Stallings at all- a HUGE difference between the 2. ND hasn't had a coach finish over .600 winning percentage since Holtz left. By comparison- Alabama has had Curry, Stallings both finish over .700 and Perkins and Franchione finished over .600. So 4/6 finished over .600. Only Mike Shula was really a bad coach..

Alabama in those 24 years had 14 top 25 finishes. With a title and also 7 top 10's(and another at 11).

ND in these 22 years has had only 9 top 25 finishes and only 1 season in top 10 in both polls(though had a year where 11/9)(and another 2 years at 11). So Alabama from Bryant to Saban a LOT stronger than Notre Dame since Holtz.
