Oh, yeah, a real cool guy who left his Cincinatti team before they played their bowl.
Yeah, because he knew the ass-whipping that was waiting for them.
Well, that was predicatable. Kelley had ALWAYS made it clear AHEAD OF TIME to Cincinnati that he would leave in ND came calling . . . just as Lou Holtz had at Arkansas. They did come calling. And he was honest with his players about it. Some were bitter, but not most. They knew that he also had done great things for the Cincinnati program; but, the Administration there did not respond in kind, with financial offers or improvements (to the stadium, etc.) that he recommended. He actually is a very nice man, with a wonderful family, he he has given hundreds of thousands of dollars to cancer research. But, I wouldn’t expect you to understand that sort of thing.
I wish he had stayed at Cincinnati. Although I've never set foot on the campus--and have never even been to Cincinnati--I'm a fan of the Bearcats because I hold one unit from the university.
