Mike Brey apparently didn’t have to wait long to pick up his next coaching gig. BullsInsider.com is reporting that the winningest coach in Notre Dame history is about to take the head coaching job at USF. No official announcement has been made, but all signs seem to be pointing in that direction.
This would be a perfect destination for Brey, who previously indicated that he would sell his home near South Bend and move to Florida once his final season with the Irish was over. As it turns out, he’ll be able to have his cake and eat it, too. He will try to revive a program that has had only one winning season in the past decade and no NCAA Tournament appearances since 2012.
This news would appear to indicate that any involvement Brey had with finding his successor in South Bend is over. Instead, his complete focus will be on a program that once was very familiar to him. The Irish went 10-1 against the Bulls from 2006 to 2013, when the programs were Big East rivals.
