Just saw this announced on ESPN. Most of us have said a while back that Brian Kelly is the most realistic hire for UT. It will be interesting to see if Kelly shows interest.
BlaaaahahahahahaObviously espn didn't get the aforementioned email explaining to everyone that Jesus, Moses and Noah are already "in the bag".
I would not put a lot of stock into ESPN knowing anything. TSN along with ESPN had Kelly going to Michigan as the number one candidate. :rolleye2:Former CMU coach Brian Kelly to replace Lloyd Carr at Michigan?

Brian Kelly, football coach at CMU from 2004-2006, is being mentioned as a possible replacement for outgoing coach Lloyd Carr at Michigan. Joe Schad of ESPN put Kelly in his time (top) three replacements for Carr, while the Sporting News came out today ranking Kelly as the #1 choice.
Kelly was never really considered for the UM job, but that might be because CRR was so receptive. I would not be surprised to find out that he was on their list, but he was never their #1 option...I would not put a lot of stock into ESPN knowing anything. TSN along with ESPN had Kelly going to Michigan as the number one candidate. :rolleye2:
I'd put more stock in it than I would in some email about Cowher, Kiffin, and Steele. I could actually believe the Cowher part, but not the part about Kiffin and Steele wanting to go there as coordinators.http://blog.mlive.com/fireupchips/2007/11/former_cmu_coach_brian_kelly_t.html

They certainly could. Kelly would be a solid hire, maybe not the "home run" kinda guy the fan base is hoping for but a good hire nonetheless.I am not sure how well he would recruit in the SEC, but he could hire assistants to help him there. He is one of the best coaches out there that you might never have heard of. He has made losers into winners everywhere that he has gone, and he has 2 Div II national championships. He wins with a hard nosed defense philosophy.
They could do a lot worse...
No way! Everybody in the SEC knows that paying good money for a head coach is just a desperation move on the part of a bunch of fanatics...:rolleye2:I still think they're hot & heavy after Butch Davis. I think they're gonna offer to make him the highest paid coach,easily!
