What's Kelly's reputation as a recruiter?

Can't say I called it, but He was who I had at the top of their list. Either he or Butch Davis.

Has he really been at a school that recruits well yet? That being said, I'd expect him to bring in a recruiting guy like we have with Porter. FWIW IMHO.

Pretty good. Ain't easy to get talent to go to Cinci.

FWIW I would put Kelly in the top 5 coaches in the nation.

He was my first choice for the LSU job when all the Miles to Michigan rumors last year were happening.

I think Gill's doing better now at Buffalo than he could do at New Mexico. His next move will be to a Utah or K-State type program IMO.

Isn't it pretty much Jim Mora Jr.'s job?

I would have loved that and I would still trade him for Miles in a heartbeat.(Not that I don't like Miles, but Kelly is an amazing coach)

Doesn't surprise me.

He may just get a shot to compete with the big boys and we'll see how he does.

Do you know anything about the Syracuse job? I'm hearing Edsall gets it.

One way or the other, I know Kiffin isn't getting that job.

It isn't decided yet...but.........I would say the scales are leaning in the direction of no they will not be back, but again, nothing is officially decided

Who's nudging the scales, external forces or the Hat himself? Is there any thought that one may be sent back to being just a position coach and the other becomes sole DC? Any truth to the talk that Lane doesn't like the scheme?

Glad to see you back around.

If a new DC is hired, would Miles keep BDP & DM?
