All BS aside hiring Frank was probably a part of that conversation he had with Woodward that inspired the "alignment" remark. It's an excellent example of what Kelly was talking about. The issues were obviously identified before BK was ever contacted and he was presented with solutions before accepting the job.


Finally someone with an intelligent take. And it’s probably close to being accurate.

So in other words you didn’t really have a legit curiosity about this, you already had an answer you wanted to be true and just posted the question to see if someone else could affirm your opinion

That’s in alignment with what everyone else was saying, they were just giving you a hard time and laughing at your butthurt.

Coaches know who the best recruiters are. I'm sure he knew about Frank Wilson because he lost quite a few battles to him.

Kelly found pages from the binder hidden in his desk left over from O.

3T needs this interaction. The conversation brings him comfort. It is much needed therapy for him. Keep bringing the heat, 3T.

I knew better than to ask this bunch. Is Riley still expected to be named LSU’s next coach or is it Aranda?


It’s yomama.

I know that he’s not trusting my opinion. Someone with terrible grammar isn’t too damn smart.

Probably no one. Brian Kelly is smart. He has been successful at every place he has been. Unlike the last coach, he doesn’t need to be advised on who to hire on his staff. He can figure it out on his own.


Maybe, maybe not. It wouldn’t shock me if Kelly is at least consulting with Woody to identify some home run LA recruiters for his staff. Frank is common knowledge to us, but he’s not a young rock star coach with a lot of buzz.

Here’s the thing about an intelligent leader. They will ask advice from people they trust and weigh that against what they already know before making a decision. However, a guy like Kelly doesn’t have to depend on that because he knows what he’s doing.

The problem with O was that he HAD to depend on the advice of others because he had no clue how to make hires on his own.

Coaching community isn't that large. I'm sure even if he didn't know Frank Wilson by name, he was thinking to himself "who was that guy that was on almost every kid I was looking at in Louisiana years back?"

Les owes Frank a lot. He kept the miles regime afloat the last few years.

The answer to this question has got to be Austin Thomas. Only other hires have been from his staff at ND
