[Orangello]

I have no opinion on this other than I absolutely love that Notre Dame fans had read the news tonight that their HC dipped on them for LSU.

Such a strange profession

A real Irish Good bye.

Must be a s load of money. Much harder path to the NC than the ACC.

ND is an independent.

I’m a little upset I won’t get to heckle Brian on ND sideline now at our game next year.

This legit shocked me, Irish American guy too (I can say that, I am one lol).

Such a strange profession

Andddd that folks is why the transfer portal was made lol

Kelly will have to have Saban like success because LSU fans are going to 100% hate him. Terrible fit. 2-3 years and they will be looking again.

 

[Louie and Bouie]

There really is 0 way we can ever compete on the national level again.

Sobering reality.

 

[David321]

Suddenly we look like the bastion of stability. Stable, but no bowls.

If you don’t know what “Neck” is, don’t say I didn’t warn you.

 

[hoopsupstate]

I can’t picture Kelly walking into homes in the south and connecting with some of these kids. Imagine the difference between Coach O and Kelly. Talk about a culture shock. He’s going to need to get some cowboy boots.

Likely left because he wants to win a Natty and realizes ND being an independent probably won’t get him to the Natty.

Going to be VERY interesting because I’m not sure this is the move for him but hey…now we will face ND with a brand new coach…..

Does ND reach out to Luke Fickell?

 

[syrBossHogg]

O/U 2 seasons for him

Honestly think he'll retire in a couple years and just took the money

 

[JRHEETER]

Also the portal is about to get wild

Would be very glad I’m on a team and not in a portal with all this shaking out

 

[qdawgg]

Such a strange profession

And we get all upset about teenagers and the portal. Some of these coaches are complete scumbags.

 

[All4SU]

I’m sure he will kill it

Sobering reality.

If Cincinnati can compete, SU can compete. If Wake Forestcan compete, SU can compete. If Pitt can compete, SU can compete.

Brian Kelly salary reported to be around ~$15M per year, making him the highest paid college coach ever.

Current top coaches such as Saban and Jimbo are around $10m annually.

ND has played in the CFP without winning a conference title in two of the last three years. Meanwhile the ACC title winner this year won't get near the CFP.

And neither will ND

If ND played in the ACC……they would be in

Honestly, I don’t care about the portal, NIL or players just getting paid under the table. The money is so stupid now.

How would you handicap the search for his replacement?
