Looking on the Bright Side: ND Coaching Search Edition

There’s going to be plenty of time to criticize Brian Kelly, the 29th coach of the Fighting Irish of Notre Dame. So before he does anything to remind us of Davie, Willingham, and Weis, let’s say a few nice things about him:

  • He has a 34-6 record at Cincinnati.
  • He is the 2009 National Coach of the Year (Ty Willingham won the same award in 2002).

  • He’s been featured on SmartFootball.com for offensive strategy. (Charlie Weis was featured as an overrated recruiter.)
  • He makes the decision of color by the The Shirt committee easy. Maybe we can avoid the Return to Glory slogan this time though.
  • With initials of BK, the cross promotion potential is ridiculous. Have it your way, right away with BK now!

What kind of city is San Francisco?

It’s an un-American one, that’s what kind.

Chicago is an American city. Oakland is an American city. South Bend is an American city. Even Waldwick is an American city. And you damn well better believe New York is an American city.

Because in an American city, when you are angry, you can go to a batting cage.

But San Francisco has no batting cages. Ergo, this is not an American city.
