Brian Kelly interviewed this week with the Philadelphia Eagles, but sources say he is negotiating a raise and extension from Notre Dame.

"This week, I had an incredible opportunity to speak with one of the premier organizations in sports about becoming their head coach," Kelly said in a statement released through the school.

"Like every kid who has ever put on a pair of football cleats, I have had thoughts about being a part of the NFL. However, after much reflection and conversation with those closest to me, I have decided to remain at Notre Dame."

Kelly coached the Fighting Irish to a 12-0 regular-season record before losing to Alabama in the BCS National Championship Game.
