“Sources said LSU had approached Kelly earlier this fall, but he declined any interest in this job. LSU made another push this past weekend.”

Hmmm…

Not too surprising. Nobody wants to make it look like he's been talking to LSU for weeks and hadn't been focused on the ND job.

Similar to Riley saying his first contact with USC was Sunday.

If anything positive happened from this search it is the total devaluation of unnamed “sources”.

I’ll never give a sick rat’s arse about what “sources say “ unless a name is attached to it.

Yes, The Athletic article confirmed he turned down the job in October and he informed Walker Howards family about declining it as well.

Kind of like Riley not have any contact with USC until Sunday morning on a zoom call and poof, the contract came together in minutes after that.

That ain’t hard to believe. The people doing the offers would have had something in place contract-wise for initial discussions.

There is no logical reason for believing anything the media says right now. They were wrong until the last 30 minutes of this search at every turn

Yea, that's all for politeness and an air of respect to the former program. Agents and lawyers did work behind the scenes for weeks.
