re: Brian Kelly officially staying

David Shaw at Stanford 2.0.

As soon as Harbaugh's players start graduating or transferring, Michigan's program will start to decline.

Watch Notre Dame too. Once Kelly's guys start to depart, Marcus Freeman will show that he's "In Over His Head" as well.

Going to Michigan is a hard spot right now, just like taking the Alabama job. You can be good, and it not be enough. 9-3 ain't gonna cut it more than 1 year, before the pressure kicks up bigtime.

That's one of the reasons I always thought Kelly was staying here. He followed O's collapse, so there's no pressure to be Saban, or even to match what Les did for the first half of his career. We said at the time, it was a pleasure to just get a competent coach here.

Alabama and now Michigan don't want competent, they want playoffs and titles.
