USC gets 38 year old Riley, ND gets 48 year old Fickell, LSU gets 60 year old Kelly

With Marcus Freeman the next man up

Kelly had just as much success at UC as Fickell has and he built that program. And people hold Fickell in high esteem.

USC gets a little bitch
ND gets 48 year old who hasn’t been on the stage
LSU gets 60 year old who can do it all

FIFY

What’s the game plan? It’ll take him 2-3 years to recruit and implement his strategy. He’s 64 then. We have 5-6 years until he’s 70…

Is this what we strive for?

Have any of you seen ND in the playoffs?

ND in playoffs with ND talent is a little different. I think he'll do really well at LSU where he doesn't have the same recruiting shackles that he had at ND.

It’s notre dame. They have to recruit the entire nation. They have tougher entrance standards then LSU. This wasn’t the notre dame of old that could get any good catholic boy it wanted when he took over.
He is a good coach. Who typically hires good assistants.
