Weeks ago, Mike Brey made it clear that he was done at Notre Dame but that he wasn’t done coaching. Would that mean coaching back home in the Washington, D.C. area? Would it be on at a high school? Would he be a consultant for some of his friends in the coaching world?
We have an answer as reports surfaced Monday that Brey will be the next head coach at South Florida. This makes a lot of sense not only because Brey previously mentioned he wasn’t interested in Midwest winters any longer. Furthermore, Brey’s son is a football coach at IMG Academy that isn’t far at all from USF.
It didn’t end how anyone wanted, but there’s no ill-will from anyone in South Bend to Brey. All the best to him in this next chapter.
