Unknøwn Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 ND AD said he had a feeling Kelly would leave in the near future. He said those around the program felt Kelly was getting restless and ready for a new challenge. So there was a feeling in the building that he was ready to move on.

O'Brien failed in his attempt to get the job. A heck of a coach IMO.. Hope he works out.. VTCrunkler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was reading an article and listening to a guy who covers notre dame about 2 years ago and he said something like Brian Kelly has been the longest tenure Notre Dame coach who never won a national title and he felt there was pressure building for him to finally seal the deal on a natty.. I think it was a good move for Brian Kelly who is a great coach IMO.. He will win a natty at LSU. VTCrunkler 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carter Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 I’m equal parts intrigued and skeptical on Kelly at LSU. I think he’s a great head coach and could definitely win a title at LSU, but I also think he could be an awkward fit culturally and it could be a disaster… and I don’t know which is more likely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unknøwn Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Kelly has offered Marcus Freeman the richest DC deal in football. Freeman is pondering the offer and perhaps waiting to see if he has a shot at being promoted at ND. Ironically, Freeman turned down the LSU DC job last offseason to go to ND.

Unknøwn Posted November 30, 2021 Author Share Posted November 30, 2021 Duke is meeting with ND DC Marcus Freeman about the HC job. Freeman has a very lucrative offer to be DC at LSU on the table. He'll also be meeting with ND to interview for the HC job there. The other ND coordinator, Tommy Rees, has an offer to be LSU OC. ND officials have secured a meeting with Rees about remaining with the program. Rees is said to he prefer remaining at ND. Kelly offered a $400K raise to Rees should he follow. Rees is viewed as a potential NFL OC as well. Well respected young offensive mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Kelly got a sweet deal. He gets $500K just for getting to 6 wins. As long as he's bowl eligible every year his base salary is $105M for the life of the deal. He has plenty of other incentives too including just winning the West. His personal buyout is highest in year 1 at $4M. He can leave LSU after year 3 for just $2M. After year two he can bounce for $3M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknøwn Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Might be some issues arising around Lincoln Riley. Some coaches and recruits have posted about Oklahoma DB coach Roy Manning showing up recruiting for both USC and OU right now. That would be a violation of the rules. A few have thanked him for showing up to rep OU and some have thanked him for showing up repping USC. He even went to a home with interim HC Bob Stoops while recruiting for USC in between. Hes also not been officially hired by USC yet and probably won't be now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LawDawg Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 What the team heard: "blah blah blah blah blah..." No one clapped at the end of that uncomfortable goodbye. It's one thing to leave before your team heads to the Belk Bowl, but quite another when you leave just days before you might be announced as one of the four teams in the CFP. If any 2 from Bama, Michigan, Cincy, or OKState lose, ND will find itself in the CFP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
