Tigerpride94 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 If that is true salary, that's insane for a college coach to make that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Raven Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Can you imagine Saban vs Kelly for the next few seasons? First coach to blow 3 gaskets in the game loses. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not like the notion is far fetched, but you have to think the committee will hold it against the Irish for losing their head coach. If it comes down to a coin flip between Oklahoma State and them, it would go to the Cowboys because of Kelly's departure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bugatti Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 For those who say you can’t blame Kelly for accepting a contract from LSU that is expected to be well north of $10 million per year, that’s bollocks. There is nobody to blame but Kelly for a classless, gutless exit before the kids he recruited to Notre Dame even know whether they’ll have the privilege of playing for a national championship. By making this move now, Kelly should be a pariah in his profession, never thought of the same way again. He doesn’t care at all about those players, and whatever respect he had earned for his stewardship of the Notre Dame program over the last dozen years has been flushed down the toilet. He should forever be known as little more than a snake and a mercenary. And yet, the larger story here is about a sport that is speeding toward the edge of an economic cliff while functioning in a manner that fundamentally devalues its core product. https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/columnist/dan-wolken/2021/11/29/brian-kelly-move-notre-dame-lsu-college-football-stunner/8803498002/ Wow, Dan Wolken held back no punches. Kelly's departure mirrors the stories we have heard in the past on coaches leaving in the dark of the night, so this too will be forgotten like all other coaches that have left in similar fashion... albeit different circumstances with his team in the hunt. Obviously Brian Kelly can coach. But I found his demeanor and bully behavior downright alarming and it turned me off from being a committed Notre Dame football fan. He just seems like a bad person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the committee holds it against them if the Irish move straight to Marcus Freeman. As a matter of fact, that creates an interesting storyline for the build up to the games.

Obviously Brian Kelly can coach. But I found his demeanor and bully behavior downright alarming and it turned me off from being a committed Notre Dame football fan. He just seems like a bad person. He left UC the same exact way, so UC fans aren't surprised by this. Players found out about him going to Notre Dame right before the team banquet when ESPN came on and announced it as breaking news. BK entered the room 15 minutes later with two police officers wearing a navy suit and yellow tie, told them he was taking the ND job, then left. UC was undefeated and getting ready to play Florida in the Sugar Bowl. He took all of his assistants with him and left UC to be coached by a bunch of Grad assistants as position coaches and Steve Stripling as Interim HC. To this day, Marty Gilyard still hasn't spoke to him and a lot of the 2009 team wanted nothing to do with him when they were all brought back to be inducted in to the UC hall of fame and BK was apart of the halftime ceremony. He has always been arrogant and all about himself. People forget he had a kid die on his watch when he forced him to go up in a 40 foot scissor lift to film practice in 50 mph winds. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
