Assuming Charlie Weis is fired by ND, who will it be?

Brian Kelly
Jon Gruden
Urban Meyer
etc.

I'm thinking Brian Kelly might be #1. In that case, it could get interesting if Kelly and Meyer have to take questions all through December about ND.

Any other potential realistic candidates?

I'm not sure why Notre Dame is a lock to get a great coach. Look at the miserable hires they have been making for 20 years.

Eh, I would hope Notre Dame is a little more intuitive. Although with their recent track record, I wouldn't be shocked if ND went after Kirk Ferentz.

Large, wealthy base of fans and boosters, your own TV network and a potentially huge salary. Not to mention all you have to do to make a BCS bowl is not suck.

Yeah, by their awful choices. Something tells me they may actually luck into a good hire this time around.

Just saw this on ESPN

Gruden Extends Contract With ESPN - The Fifth Down Blog - NYTimes.com

Please scratch Jon Gruden off your wish lists, N.F.L. owners and college athletic directors. At least for now, the former Bucs and Raiders head coach, who has made a widely praised debut this season as an analyst for “Monday Night Football,” plans to remain a talking head and stay off the sidelines. On Monday, ESPN announced that he had signed a multiyear contract extension with the network.

While coaches are typically not held to their television contracts if they receive an offer to return to coaching –- just check Bill Parcells’ back-and-forth between ESPN and the sideline and front office -– an ESPN spokesman said that Gruden had committed to “Monday Night Football” for multiple years.
“He will not be seeking any coaching positions for the foreseeable future,” the ESPN spokesman Bill Hofheimer said. “We expect to have him here at ESPN for a long time.”

That would seem to eliminate Gruden from contention for what could be a handful of N.F.L. opportunities and one college job that he might cherish -– Notre Dame. Until now, Gruden would most likely have been in the small group of Super Bowl winning coaches pursued for each opening –- the Redskins and the Raiders, among others, are likely to make coaching changes at the end of the season. That leaves Bill Cowher, Mike Shanahan, Mike Holmgren and Brian Billick as Super Bowl winners who could return to the sidelines next season.

would be the right move for meyer... the key to the success of his offense has been the talent level (part. speed) at skill positions combined with the NOVELTY of the system... this is wearing off fast as several SEC defenses have figured it out and closed the gap.. he should take his gimmick and run... i hope he stays- will be fun beating him
