Glass is half full, right?

The purpose of this site is to promote all UC sports, not personal agenda's. However, some of the reactions to the news that Brian Kelly is staying is a bit confusing. It struck me Tuesday night when WLW talk show host Paul Daugherty said that he felt "scammed" about the announcement earlier that day. His reasoning was that news had leaked that Notre Dame was keeping Charlie Weis. Did Brian Kelly step up with this big announcement knowing that the Notre Dame job was not available? What's to say that Notre Dame didn't make their decision based on information that Brian Kelly was not entertaining offers and since they lost him as a candidate they would stick with Weis. But who cares.
In a time when news of the economy and other local sports teams are always bad it would seem that a bit of positive news would be embraced. What a horrible thing, a family from Michigan that moved to Cincinnati has fallen in love with our city and wants to stay.
Yes, a nice pay check is keeping him here but that same check could be obtained elsewhere. Brian Kelly is choosing to stay here and make a difference. No, he's not a professor but he is trying to make UC a better place. If he succeeds in his dastardly plan, that includes improving and expanding Nippert Stadium, it will be at the cost of people that choose to write the check. As opposed to falling on tax payers like Paul Brown Stadium. If this type of paranoid skepticism had existed years ago Mike Brown wouldn't be making money with a stadium you are paying for.
Lighten up, accept this small bit of positive news for what it is. A plan that's only hidden agenda is trying to improve the a football program and the stadium it plays in. As for Brian Kelly he doesn't deserve sainthood for his actions, but he should be recognized. He's doing what's best for his family and the rest of us get to ride on his coat tails.
