I know this is a hot take, but I honestly think BK is just too old school of a coach to have success in this era of college football. I could see him simply resigning .

You fricking tard. He had more money than his family could spend before ever coming here. These stupid narratives must die.

The only stupid narrative here is the new rantard quip that BK has made an unspendable amount of money in his career.

He was making in the $1,000,000’s or 2,000,000’s at ND until he basically went to LSU. Assuming he was spending a reasonable amount of money, which I’m sure he was, he wasn’t accumulating anywhere near generational wealth until literally right now.

Y’all are fricking INSANE if you think he’s walking away from $50,000,000+ to retire when he doesn’t have anything close to that in his bank account based on what he was making at ND.

Yes, Saban likes it when he is in control. Couldn't do that in the NFL and can't do it in the NIL era.

I believe he will. Not this offseason, but sooner rather than later. Who woudl want to deal with this BS in their 60's???
This is a young man's coaching carousel now. Those with energy, personalities, and abilities to relate to young players and this NIL/portal mindset. See K. Smart, L. Kiffin, Sark, Heupel, Lanning, etc.
Look at Dabo struggling with it at Clemson. He will need to adapt too soon or pack it in.

He’s got about 67 million reasons not to. If he resigns or retires, LSU doesn’t owe him anything.

His dad was a well known politician in Boston who had a lot of political power. Kelly was already set before he even started his coaching career.

BK seems highly competitive and is set financially, he doesn't strike me as the kind of guy who will just go through the motions for a check. That's just a narrative this board created.

If he just wanted to coast, he could've leveraged LSU's offer into a bigger contract at Notre Dame and continued on there.

But ND is paying first time head coach Freeman $7M/yr?

I wasn’t aware it was that poster’s job to hire the football coach?

And even still, the midget has not been that great at it

Going off USA Today from the link in my post.

$2.67M in 2021
$1.86M in 2020

So if you’re saying otherwise, then either USA Today is wrong or there was some creative setup where most of BK’s money wasn’t paid directly from the school.

Notre Dame doesn't report their head coach's full compensation.

Do you really think the head coach of Notre Dame is being paid elite coordinator money?
