Notre Dame Announces Cincinnati’s Brian Kelly to be the New Head Football Coach Replacing Charlie Weiss, Bookings for Next Season Now Open at www.RentLikeAChampion.com

South Bend, IN, December 11, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Notre Dame has announced the hiring of Cincinnati’s Brian Kelly as the new head football coach of the Fighting Irish. Coach Kelly has coached his Cincinnati team to a 12-0 record, Big East title, and an invite to the BCS Sugar Bowl this year. Coach Brian Kelly has a fantastic track record at previous programs. He is 34-6 in 3 seasons at Cincinnati and won 2 D-II championships at Grand Valley State. Brian Kelly is a great cultural fit as well for Notre Dame as he is an Irish Catholic and has deep roots in the Midwest.

With the high caliber new coach Brian Kelly comes a renewed excitement amongst fans of Notre Dame Football. Looking forward to next season, bookings have already begun for home football games next year. Many families and groups have fans that have found a new option for lodging in South Bend that is far better than staying in overpriced, dingy hotel rooms far from the stadium. The website www.RentLikeAChampion.com was started by three 2001 ND Alums and allows ND fans to book houses just blocks away from campus for about half the price of a hotel. You can have your whole group stay in a nice 2-6 bedroom home with tons of space and a full kitchen. It really is a better way to spend your Notre Dame Football weekend in South Bend. Many of the homes are owned by ND Professors and staff and are just 2-3 blocks South of the Notre Dame campus. The best homes get booked up early, so they recommend booking soon. Some prices are still being updated by the homeowners, but many are available right now for next football season. Go Irish.
