the hippocratic oath...

i could care less about Brian Kelly. i've seen his type before. Upstart coach with smaller program leap frogs to bigger program and bigger coffers. Sometimes these guys become Urban Meyer, but most times they end up becoming Ty Willingham...

i see how the University of Cincinnati could be upset. Two days ago they had an undefeated, BCS Bowl bound football team complete with a head coach—hell, they woke up in the morning with all of that in place. They probably ordered a club sandwich in the early afternoon, thinking they still had a head coach. By nightfall that was not the case. But what i don't understand is how a University that according to insider sources that i trust, paid former Lincoln High School basketball star Lance Stephenson to attend Cincinnati, could get so upset about someone taking the money...

how about Mardy Gilyard? He's a star in the making and hopefully heading on his way to being drafted by the NY Jets, although the Judge would say that us Jets fan will be cursed by getting Tim Tebow, which might not be so bad—we could run the old '747 offense' to counteract the 'wildcat'—point is, he is going to be taking the money, and that's ok, right. Several Bearcats will. I mean; when did college football grow some integrity? Lighten up fellas, is Kelly a bit mealy-mouthed? Sure. But should we get Dr. Johnny Fever to lead the charge to Kelly's crucifixion?...

i don't think i have to go any further on this, except to say that i believe Kelly will fail, ultimately, due to the fact that Notre Dame hasn't figured out that to really succeed in 21st century college football the University needs a conference, not the coach of the month...

i wonder what Bearcat alum, the cowboy feels about this, but i haven't seen him since a chance glance through the shadows a few winters ago, so i'm not holding my breath to find out...
