When’s the last time a coach left Notre Dame on his own?

Just shows how the times have changed. 30+ years ago until the beginning of college football this would have been unthinkable for a ND head coach to leave for LSU.

Lou Holtz?

George O’Leary?
He tried but ND refused it and said “you can’t quit because your fired!”

Notre dame isn’t the job it used to be. They’re an ACC school with a bunch of old arse fans.

And they're 11-1. What happens if ND slips into the playoffs?

30 years ago teams weren't offering fully guaranteed $100 million contracts.

Notre Dame has an overinflated sense of itself. They don’t think they should have to pay a coach fair market value. In their demented minds, a coach should just come and work for Notre Dame for peanuts. When coaches at top schools are making $5-$12 million per year, Notre Dame was paying Kelly $2.7 million. And considering the fact that they have their own individual TV contract that pays them more than any other team in the country, their sense of entitlement is completely f*cking outrageous given the current landscape of college football.
This MIGHT BE their wake-up call. But, I doubt it.

No OU HC had ever left for another school either.

That topic came up at the press conference. It was someone named Berry over 100 years ago.

10 years....$100 million with 90% of it guaranteed....which is probably a 33-50% pay raise for him.
It wasn't JUST LSU calling. It wasn't the SEC. It wasn't the recruiting differences ... or the competition... or the damn weather.
The #1 reason he left - the contract LSU put in front of him... AND the opportunity to come here and coach with and against the best. The $100 mill PLUS the opportunity to play for Championships.

Brian Kelly becomes the first Notre Dame coach to leave for another college job since Thomas A. Barry in 1907.
He left ND for Wisconsin.
He was a lawyer & pro baseball player, who, the Boston Post described, was a "pioneer in the art" of stealing home. He was never thrown out.

Like 1907.

Most in history have all resigned or got pushed out and retired.
Gerry Faust, Bob Davie and Ty Willingham got fired.
Rockne died
Frank Leahy quit to be an NFL GM
Ara Parseghian quit (or was pushed out because he was approaching Rock he's wins) and went into broadcasting
Lou Holtz was pushed out despite having a lifetime contract as he was approaching Rockne's wins
Kelly leaves as he was approaching Rock he's win total (ND doesn't his vacated wins.)
There's been a long-standing theory that ND won't allow any coach to surpass Rockne. Its not surprising ND didn't put up any fight to keep Kelly.
