BK would be dumb to leave ND.

Brian Kelly + hurricane wind in south LA is not a good combination.

He will be gone by the completion of the 4th year along with SW.

LSU is one of the best jobs in college football and SW still cannot do a successful coaches search.

Look for ND to hire from within, potentially. Marcus Freeman is a highly respected coordinator that has done wonders with a limited ND team, and is widely considered one of the next big things.

If LSU is crazy enough to give him that much dough, it makes sense for him to leave.

Plus, he has already coached longer at ND than any other ND coach and frankly ND probably doesn't mind him moving on.

Kelly will win 10-12 games every year at LSU and he'll bring an elite D coordinator with him.

Kelly will likely win a national title within 5 years, yet LSU fans are going to go apeshit over this hire.

Coaching changes board shows they are unhappy. He's a great coach. I get the age thing, but he's a young 60 IMO.

Brian Kelly asked if he'd ever leave Notre Dame, aside from retirement: “No. I mean, look, I think Mike Tomlin had the best line, right? Unless that fairy godmother comes by with that $250M check, my wife would want to take a look at it first. I'd have to run it by her.”

That's great for the SEC. I mean the other teams.

Kelly is obviously a fantastic coach, but if people thought Riley to USC was culture shock wait until BK in is Baton Rouge

The Michigan State alums that threw $95 million at Mel Tucker turned the market on its ear. There are 20 guys who should make that now.
