He's taking over Vanderbilt.

Kind of reminds me of when Rocket Ismail played for Notre Dame

- Head Coach at his alma mater. Maybe not a "dream job" but close to it.NT jrdjr84 2:48pm · 12/14/20
- Very bad news for ND - Lea’s focus will not be the same. It’s only natural.NT jamie 2:33pm · 12/14/20
- Lea did a great job for ND and Kelly deserves a lot of credit for... Domer From Hell 2:24pm · 12/14/20
- Does he take anyone with him?NT WestCoastIrishFan 1:58pm · 12/14/20
- Let the speculation begin.NT faircatchcorby 1:56pm · 12/14/20
- I've got to believe ND's recruits were reaffirmed and Lea committed to coaching thru NC before this Nostradamus 12:46pm · 12/14/20
  - I hope Prince Kollie doesn't change his mind he's from TN.NT ghostwriter 1:11pm · 12/14/20
    - deleteNT ghostwriter 1:13pm · 12/14/20
- Lea being a head coach somewhere was inevitable. I hope we don't lose any commits.NT ghostwriter 12:25pm · 12/14/20
  - There may be one or two who use this as an excuse to bail.NT faircatchcorby 1:57pm · 12/14/20
  - I like that it doesn't appear anyone tried to hide it until after signing day. Napoleon 1:00pm · 12/14/20
- Bummer that they don't play Texas A&M next year. Iggle 12:25pm · 12/14/20
- In light of National Signing Day just 2 days away, captaincoyle 12:24pm · 12/14/20
- That is one tough, tough job to take on as your first head coaching gig. I'm not saying he can't DadUdaMan4 12:23pm · 12/14/20
- Big loss, but congrats to himNT Fisher01 12:17pm · 12/14/20
- Is he coaching this week? Nostradamus 12:12pm · 12/14/20
  - Yes he is coaching this week CC72 2:46pm · 12/14/20
    - Probably a smart move for him croaker 8:46pm · 12/14/20
  - Would Holtz have done that with Barry Alvarez, or was it a convenient motivational ploy ... lacan 2:41pm · 12/14/20
    - What was timeline between 1989 (1/1/90) Orange Bowl and Alvarez's Wisconsin announcement?... Nostradamus 4:11pm · 12/14/20
  - Darnell was going to get fired anyways ndunabomber 12:42pm · 12/14/20
    - That defense really didn't do much well at all. jakers 11:23pm · 12/14/20
    - You are totally right. But Holtz told team only ND coaches coach ND players... Nostradamus 12:49pm · 12/14/20
  - That was much different. My guess, if ND is in playoffs he's here. Any other game, he's gone early Irish_Demon 12:27pm · 12/14/20
    - My info is that Darnell wanted to coach in Sugar Bowl. But I agree with rest of your assessment. Nostradamus 12:34pm · 12/14/20
- Good for himNT ND_in_DRO 12:08pm · 12/14/20
  - If he can do anything at Vandy, he'll be in the mix to replace Kelly.NT AlbanyIRISH 12:43pm · 12/14/20
- BVG on line 1.NT Irishize 12:01pm · 12/14/20
- Unfortunate...but didn't see him not leaving this year for Vandy or elsewhere.NT TakethetrainKnute 11:54am · 12/14/20
- Damn!NT jimbasil 11:48am · 12/14/20
- Time to throw 1.6 million at Marcus Freeman. No Joseph or Elston.NT Elliott Swann 11:27am · 12/14/20
  - I'm good with Elston. What ND has going right now is great, and continuity is positive. Napoleon 12:32pm · 12/14/20
  - Coach Kelly has been nailing all his recent hires. I trust his judgement ND_in_DRO 12:09pm · 12/14/20
    - Rees was not a "popular choice on this board?" Ahem (self pat on back) MarkHarman 10:28pm · 12/14/20
    - Agreed on Elston. Bring Freeman in as AHC/LB coach and keep Lea's brilliant scheme. Nostradamus 12:18pm · 12/14/20
