Brian Kelly wasted zero time getting his Twitter account all "Irish'd-out" -- and despite his statements to the contrary, he sure did seem excited about taking the Notre Dame job. I don't begrudge him that at all, it's just that with the way he accepted his new position (read: looking like a 17-year-old who just walked into his first nudie bar), well, it's obvious that the people who said he would "crawl through mud" to get the gig were spot-on.
Anyway, not everyone is so forgiving. According to Coach Kelly's Twitter account, his house in Cincy got egged and someone put a nasty little message on his lawn:
Spent most of the morning on the phone with recruits. House got egged last night and the sign on the lawn wasn't a FOR SALE sign.So, yeah, Cincinnati fans are a little upset with Kelly (just like the players!) and rightfully so. Kelly bounced on them to take his dream job ... but the way in which he did it makes even objective outsiders feel a little slimy inside.
(Which is also probably similar to how his house feels on the exterior ... but I digress.)
Judging by the docile nature of his tweet, I guessing that Kelly's just going to let all this slide and move on; he could attempt to press charges or seek out the ne'er-do-gooders who lobbed the poultry product at his windows, but what's the point?
All he'll manage to do is further alienate the Cincy fanbase, we'll keep making a big deal out of it, and it'll disrupt his move to South Bend. Instead, I would recommend he sit in his living room and count his millions of dollars.
