I don't see how it's sustainable, but yeah.

I think this is a good deal and lets spend the rest of the money on a good OC.
I would've thought at least $110.

This tells me it wasn't about squeezing another $2-3 million a year out of LSU but wanting to get to the SEC with SEC talent and win a title. He could've easily stayed at the cush ND job for another 10 yrs with no threat of being fired if he got 8-9 wins/yr.
Instead he wants to jump into the SEC and get the talent required to win a title.

Wasn't the women's hoops coach at ND making more base salary than Kelly?

Seems I read that somewhere not long ago. He was making something like just over 2 mil a year in base salary. But it was speculated that he really made a lot more than that from endorsements and some type of bonus structure.

Yeah they are private so he makes a lot more than what they say on paper. Estimated around 7-8 mil

Pretty shocking that ND wouldn’t match a contract that a school like Michigan State gave out to Mel Tucker. I have to imagine they did match but the overall LSU package was most attractive.




He didn't even ask them to match i don't believe. I don't think they even knew about it.

We hired BK for the same price and terms as Mel Tucker and Jimbo. That’s quite a win.


I generally dgaf about a coach's salary, but it was pretty funny to see fans melt over the $15m number. Getting this dude at $9.5 is kind of hilarious in this context.

Woodward is such a

Yep.

Man, I think this dude is coming in here ready to wreck fricking shop and carve out a legacy that all of CFB will remember, not just one school.


Nothing is ever a guarantee, obviously, but judges strictly as a hire, I really don’t think we could have done any better at all.

Let’s fricking ride

From what I have been hearing, the main point of contention for Kelly was ND not investing more on facilities and being unwilling to.

barely more than we were paying O. Plenty of money left over to pay 2+ mill for each coordinator and plenty left for the rest of the staff.

I'm actually shocked. One of the reasons I wanted Napier was because we could save some coin. Knowing that we're not paying 12-15 for Kelley makes this get that much sweeter.

Load up his staff and lets get to work.
