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.

ND is a private university so they don’t have to disclose the money he’s getting. Most have estimated him to be around 8-9 million on his latest extension

Not a chance. If anything they'll think, "Kelly couldn't get us over the hump because he got away from what has traditionally worked at Notre Dame!" and undo the few things Kelly was able to get pushed through to try and modernize the program. Those people are attached to their past in the same way Jimmy Hoffa is attached to Soldier Field: they are buried and suffocated by it.
