1billsfan Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 It's still a rumour. But they heard it from Mort of ESPN.

Mark VI Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 He's still a legend there. All-American QB and won the 1973 National Championship under Dan Devine.
rolly Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 If this is true at all, I'm not surprised. Everything is going too good around here, something has to !@#$ up. If Clements goes, who takes over? I'm guessing Sam Wyche maybe?.
bartshan-83 Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 I keep telling my friends here that this is probably gonna happen. The stevestojantty thing is that I don't like it from either standpoint. Clements is in no way a proven head coach and people here aren't too thrilled that he may be the best choice left. PLUS I would be pissed if the Bills lost him. I dunno, the only great advantage I see to having him here is that he is a former player and star so I think he would be more inclined to actively recruit rather than sit back and let the ND "mystique" reccruit for us like the previous 2 coaches.

Just won an NCAA title, so all is not lost in South Bend, right? There's your #1 candidate!

Just won an NCAA title, so all is not lost in South Bend, right? There's your #1 candidate! 151988[/snapback] That actually did cause some excitement around here....for about an hour. They have a big sign that says "#1" and it is placed on top of one of the tallest building on campus. It is lit when any of our teams is currently #1 in the country in their sport. I yearned for the day it was on for something other than fencing. Guess I got my wish.... No actually it was cool to see them win a title. I just think the mood around here is permanently bleak after the debacle. Add to that how we keep getting beaten over the head with it by ESPN and every other sports station. Right after they fired Ty, my girlfriend said they should get Regis to coach (alum). That choice is looking better and better each day.
BuffOrange Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 I'm one of the few people who neither love nor hate the Irish. I feel kind of bad for them though. They can't get ANYONE to take that job. Might as well post the opening on Monster.com

While they're intrigued by him and he's viewed as a chic choice, rumors persist that, when push comes to shove, they'll go with an "experienced" guy. Keep the faith.
Rico Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Not that big of a deal if he leaves, MM is going to have a big say in what happens on O no matter who the co-ordinator is... he'll find a decent replacement if necessary.
Toledo Bill Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 If he leaves I bet you'll see Wyche calling plays or more likely Mularky will (just for the rest of the year)
nodnarb Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 I'd be pretty disappointed if he left before the season is over. he has a job, and he should do it without distraction. we need some continuity, for chrissake.
bills_fan Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 I'd be friggin pissed if Clements left. Screw ND, you have a commitment to the BILLS who are in the middle of an NFL PLAYOFF PUSH. Do Not leave.
Realist Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 On the Dan Patrick show they are saying that Joe Montana as actively trying to get ND to hire Clements.
PIZ Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Seems alot of the guys on this Notre Dame message board want the former Notre Dame alumn....................Charlie Weis. Big Blue
Alaska Darin Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 I would say the chances they hire Clements aren't very good. The program needs a name - someone with a significant track record as a winner at the college level. I just can't see them trying to sell a guy with no HC experience at the major college level, regardless of what Montana thinks.
PIZ Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 I just can't see them trying to sell a guy with no HC experience at the major college level, regardless of what Montana thinks. 152174[/snapback] Yeah, but maybe he interviews well.
Alaska Darin Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Yeah, but maybe he interviews well. 152185[/snapback] I hadn't considered that.
RkFast Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Would it be too much to ask for this club to have just SOME level of continuity with its offensive coaching staff??!!??
