Don’t love or hate it.

This is not the splash hire the CC board told me SW was famous for.

Agreed. Not a splash hire, but definitely better than Napier. (Go ahead downvote)

Winningest coach out there not named Saban. Yeah...hire sucks. If he can do that with Notre Dame...just imagine what he can do with these athletes down here. It's an upgrade from what we had.....

263-96-2 as a head coach (92-39 at Notre Dame). Enough said.

I don’t hate it.


And I don’t love it.

It’s meh.

I can learn to love it. BK just needs to show me the money. Wins = money.

It’s also the biggest school that can dodge all the big names.

Even selectively picking his best years, he is 8-6 against ranked competition and .500 against ranked in the past decade.

Hardly awe inspiring feats.

That with a history of choking in the big games…..I don’t hate the hire. But there are multiple people I would have rathered.

Are you serious? He just hired the coach of the #6 team in the country. 54-9 with 3 NY6 including a CFP appearance over the last 5 seasons. In what fricking world is that not a splash hire? You're being a teenage girl.

Would Matt Campbell be more of a splash hire? Billy Napier? Get a grip.

Splash hires are fired all the time. Proven over a long period of time is what I want, and it’s about time we had a coach who was professional.

I think it's both a splash and a meh hire

Very similar to Jimbo. Nobody is going to particularly fear Kelly, but he's a big name and you got him from a big program and he's capable of building a championship caliber team a couple times a decade.

This is the exact type of Woodward hire to expect. A consistent and proven winner.

Literally posted this on the announcement.

And it cracks me up that Lincoln was what we called the big fish.

Look at this objectively: What has LR done to be worthy of the highest paid coach in all NA sports? Offering to nearly double his salary reeks more of desperation than calculation.
