He took off to coach the Bearcats in that years International Bowl while his assistants remained behind to finish the season at CMU. The majority of Kellys assistants joined him at Cincinnati the following season.Its perfectly all right if Kelly is undecided about his future and wants to listen to the Irish brass. He has that right, and we cant knock him for that.Im quickly becoming the story, and I dont want that to be the case, Kelly told Patrick.Thats only because of the way you are handling it, Coach.Kelly isnt stupid, or else he wouldnt have admitted that he is slowly but surely becoming a distraction during the most important time of the year for the Bearcats. If Kelly wants to give Cincinnati the best chance to beat Florida, he needs to tell Notre Dame that the negotiations are halted until after the Sugar Bowl.Notre Dame may want to find a coach before then, but at least it will be out of Kellys hands and he will have handled it with class.And, besides, if Kelly is genuinely interested in going to Notre Dame, do you think there is any way the Irish wont wait until after the Sugar Bowl to decide on their future coach Didnt think so.A fresh multi-million dollar deal signed on Irish paper may satisfy Kelly, but if he isnt on the sidelines against Florida, he can forget everything he ever did as a Bearcat.Kelly may win by negotiating now, but his players, who have played the biggest role in his opportunity to even speak to Notre Dame, will inevitably lose.
