The Notre Dame position isn't even open and if it does open in the next couple of years they could promote from within the organization.
Notre Dame wouldn't promote within the organization. 2 of their 3 assistants have less coaching experience than Valentine and aren't as good in my opinion. The other assistant coach, Ron Balanis, has been at Notre Dame since 2000. If you fire Mike Brey, you're not going to turn over the program to his right hand man. If ND makes a coaching change, I think they'll clean house completely.
As for the availability of the job, ND is on the trajectory towards becoming an ACC bottom feeder. Players aren't developing within the program. ND is very loyal to their coaches (and coaches are loyal to the school) so Brey will get a longer leash than he would at other schools, but if there isn't improvement this season, I could see them making a change.
That's fair, I obviously don't know much about ND. I just know it's ridiculous to act like Porter is holding out strictly for the ND job without any evidence. He said he almost took the St. Johns job and he's getting interest from plenty of high caliber programs for more money than he's getting now.
