Finebaum: Notre Dame should buy out Kelly, hire Meyer
1h ago - Paul Finebaum doesn't see Brian Kelly as a championship-caliber coach and says Notre Dame should buy him out and hire Urban Meyer.
https://www.espn.com/watch/player?id=27955957

Normally I don’t agree with anything Paul Finebaum says, but I think he nailed it on Brian Kelly…

Normally I don’t agree with anything Paul Finebaum says, but I think he nailed it on Brian Kelly this morning..... He is a good but not a great coach. He will never win a title at ND. ND should give him a gold watch, buy him out, and hire Urban Meyer. ND is a great program without a great coach.

Re: “Three months ago, I had a problem,” Meyer said. “What if I’m sitting here in October and I can’t stand what I’m doing? But I love what I’m doing. My family loves what I’m doing and those are really the only people who matter to me.”

I don't think he'll ever coach again as long as he's happy with what he is doing. However, the only school that I could see him coaching at would be Notre Dame.

The USC talk is a joke; however, Ohio State and Notre Dame were his "dream jobs":

With help from Urban Meyer, Fox's Big Noon Kickoff aims high

Rob Stone’s phone rang at 6 a.m. Monday.

The caller I.D. read: Urban Meyer.

They talked three more times before 1 p.m. And that was prior to their weekly conference call.

“Coach and I are in contact throughout the week bouncing ideas, and how can we fine-tune the show, and how can we continue to win,” said Stone, the host of Big Noon Kickoff on Fox. “He’s really win-oriented, and I think we all are. It’s been hard for him to find a win in this environment. It’s easy to say it on Saturdays, ‘We won.’ But what is a win on Saturdays?

“We always go back to that question: Did we win? And then, let’s get ready for our opponent next week. Where are their soft spots and where are our strengths? He has brought that to the front of our TV brains. It’s been a really fresh perspective that’s been thrust upon us.”

On Saturday, Fox is bringing its nascent pregame show to Ohio Stadium, a homecoming for Meyer, but also a showcase for the hour-long program that is perhaps the biggest breakout star of the college football season.

Big Noon Kickoff, a mixture of authenticity, astute analysis, and humor, didn’t take shape until March when Meyer, one of the offseason’s most coveted free agents, along with Justin Fields and Jalen Hurts, exited the transfer portal and signed with Fox. The network collected one of the best coaches of the past two decades and three of the most recognizable players from the same era — Matt Leinart, Reggie Bush, and Brady Quinn — offering a fresh alternative to ESPN’s College GameDay, an eclectic show that’s won eight Sports Emmys and is considered the gold standard of pregame studio productions.

What Big Noon Kickoff is attempting to be is a successful version of the USFL, or the XFL, or the UFL, or the AAF. GameDay has been an untouchable titan, standing atop the sport’s TV landscape for nearly three decades.

“We all realize to do what we’re attempting to do there’s going to be a lot of scrutiny,” Quinn said. “All of us start preparing for the next week when the previous Saturday ends. The crowd we cater to is more football-driven. Fans now are more educated than ever. They have a platform to voice their criticisms and concerns with Twitter and other social media platforms. For that reason, I think we've tried to be more current and relevant with our content.”

College GameDay, a three-hour extravaganza, is outdrawing Big Noon Kickoff 2-to-1, but Fox is growing its audience despite GameDay’s ratings increasing slightly compared to 2018. The network also has accomplished its goal of owning the noon window, putting its best games in the afternoon instead of at night while reaping the rewards. Fox routinely has the highest-rated noon game and Oklahoma-Texas is the third most-watched game of the season.

“It’s surpassed even our most optimistic expectations,” Stone said. “I think there was screaming for an alternative source of college football news. I think we've assembled a really unique blend of current, name-brand talent who’s done it on the field and the sideline. When Urban speaks, it’s a 100 percent with a level of authority, and we all just kind of stop and listen and soak in the knowledge.”

I enjoyed this line way more than I should have (since I work for the owners of the opponent) and laughed out loud. He will choke you over a game of checkers and damnit, that's more entertaining in this instance than it should be. :lol:

I think Fox and ESPN should settle who has the top dog pregame show by having Urban and Frosty Tips play a winner takes all game of checkers.

Re" "But expect Bohn’s search to begin immediately, containing names like Penn State’s James Franklin and Baylor’s Matt Rhule and former Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops," Plaschke wrote. "Sorry, all you Urbanites, but Urban Meyer, with a checkered history of poor off-the-field leadership, should not be, and is not expected to be, on that list."

In the same breath as Plaschke, Thamel noted that USC could go after Franklin and Rhule, among others, if the Trojans move on from Helton.

“The frontrunner for USC to target likely shifts to Penn State’s James Franklin, a move that would take a substantial amount of money considering the revenue gaps between the two schools,”

======================================================
The Penn State cult will be shitting in their pants after they read that; heck, Paterno might even be shitting in his grave too (you remember that he's got a track record of having the shits)...

The only thing that worries me is USC getting James Franklin and PSU pulling Rhule away from Baylor. The best thing would be USC actually NOT being incompetent and going after Rhule from the get-go.

Yeah, being a Penn State alum I doubt that it would be too hard for them to pull Rhule away from Baylor even tough Rhule might have a hefty buyout clause in his Baylor contract:

Rhule would be a big upgrade over Big Game James...and I don’t want anything good to happen to that football program so long as I live in SEPA.
