Bobby Elliott to Notre Dame

[NickTheGreat]

Unfortunate. I think our DB play has been outstanding.

I figured the guy was ready to settle down and be at one place for more than a few years, when he took the ISU job.

He's never gonna get a bigger job so he is going for the biggest paycheck he can get -- can't really blame him for that.

As well as experiences...why not coach at ND? Whether one likes ND or not Coach Elliott will enjoy some great experiences from this stint. I have zero problems with Coach E taking this position.

Yeah, his health and age will probably prevent him from landing an outright DC position again. Maybe a Co-DC some day, so he is going to have to take the best possible position coach spot he can get.

He also has a chance to coach with two of his former players which should be rewarding for him. At ND, he will be able to recruit at a higher level based on name recognition alone.

I just hope we nail the hire for his replacement. BE was a good replacement for Chris Ash at the time and we need an equally good hire this time.

We need to replace contacts in CA and TX (Herman) with our new position coach hires.

Notre Dame adds Iowa State's Elliott to staff - chicagotribune.com

How did the Trib get a news release from ISU, and no one local did?

Will the recruiting director title go to shane burnham?

 

[promoman]

would like to see former ga Nick Caley get some consideration for the job as he has been tutored by two of the best in Elliott and Ash

He took a job at Eastern Illinois. Not saying he couldn't change again, just saying he took it.

 

[promoman]

too bad, he's a good young up and coming coach

I'm hoping Jimmy Burrow, the DC from Ohio gets a call, he is a good coach, good recruiter and has a few players in the NFL. He also still has a few friends in Ames from a few years back.

Why would he go from DC at Ohio to a position coach at ISU? I don't think we are offering that kind of money. Also, Burrow looks like he pretty much only recruits in Nebraska and I don't think that's a focus area for us.

Similar money, bigger upside, potential promotion(Wally can't coach forever)..., he has connections other than Nebraska, including Ohio, Mississippi, and Iowa. I think he would be a good hire.

Hmm, I'd be interested to know if the money was similar or not. Burrow is the Assistand HC, DC, and Safeties coach.
I just don't see him dropping down to DB coach with those titles. He would probably be a more likely successor to Frank Solich at Ohio. Frank is 67 this year.

Just my opinion though.

He would likely be recruiting coordinator as well as dbacks coach though, which makes the gap a little smaller.

I guess.

We'll see what happens.

Correct me cuz I'm an idiot but, how many years does brian Kelly have left in south bend. I understand Elliot is going to Norte Dame, but what is the longevity of that job. I see CPR here as long as he wants. Brian Kelly...
