You could do this in your head w/o a calculator pretty easily.

All you had to do was look at your post and see it 372-75 then see that its 3k from 100 difference and realize that its 297K.

Not sure how Semis is "way" too early? Early, yes, but only by a week.

Give me someone with some success running a program at a lesser conference over a coordinator any day. LSU is too big of a stage to learn on the job. Even O had experience as a HC prior to landing the full time gig.

So in other words of all the coaches who have won a NC over the last 25 years 40% were in their first gig as a HC. Or 33% of NCs over the last 25 years have been won by a HC in their first gig.

You are leaving out Stoops and Coker. You also fail to mention that only 15 coaches have won a NC over the last 25 years.

His cousin would be a better choice, but I doubt LSU could pry him away from his current job!

the money people would nearly prefer to hire a no name coach, who was a good “fit”, and give him ALL the NIL money bc they felt like the coaches name didn’t really matter anymore and its all about NIL and who’s got the most.

If that's the case the money guys are about to get a big dose of reality. Talent is only one part of the equation.

Just look at O's tenure at LSU. He had talent every year but only one year was he able to combine elite talent with elite coaching.

Your analysis is confusing and it appears that you're not aware that Coach O was a P4 Coach prior his role as Position Coach at LSU. He was also the interim HC at USC when Kiffin was fired from there.

So much for the cheaper contract ideas everyone wanted.

I figured most people knew the rhetoric of cheaper contracts was lip service by the Gov trying to appease the plebes.

Anyone with an elementary level understanding of supply and demand should understand that as long as two guys are selling hope to multiple rabid desperate fanbases who are bidding against each other while simultaneously creating fear of loss to other rabid fanbases trying to hold on to their coach understands that the cost of a perceived savior will continue to sky rocket.

The University Presidents are on board with this model b/c history has shown there is direct correlation to student enrollment and donor givings when the football team is successful!

Curly and Kelly were not P4 coaches.

Curly wasn't; I overlooked the P4 in your original post. However, you're being intellectually dishonest if you're truly trying to say ND isn't the equivalent of a P4 program.

For arguments sake you can keep your P4 technicality: He was the 4th highest ranked coach going in 2021 preseason ranking of coaches:

4. Brian Kelly, Notre Dame

Votes: 122
Last year: 6 (+2)
Record: 134-60 in FBS (81-39 at Notre Dame)
Lowdown: Kelly slipped to No. 20 in our 2018 rankings, but he reinvented his Notre Dame stint with a three-year run that includes a 33-6 record and two Playoff appearances. The Irish have learned from Playoff losses to Clemson and Alabama, and the program continues to evolve. It's the same track record as the next coach on this list.

Because of Archer. LSU has a championship formula: hire an experienced coach from a P4 conference that can recruit. Saban, Michigan State Miles, OSU Coach O, OM Championship Championship Championship

You left out:
Curly -sucked from day one
Dinardo- brought backed the magic before sucking
Kelly- early success before retiring with Golden Parachute

So I guess that makes it a 50-50 gamble!

An AD who has won 6 championships in 6 years is not normally let go.

It was mentioned this afternoon on a radio show that Woodward basically sealed his fate earlier in the year maybe last year when a Landry benefactor wanted to rehire the Pear and he refused.

Not sure if true but seeing how Landry has conducted business over the past couple of years it seems extremely plausible.

And they didn’t go to any old programs. Ohio State, Georgia, and Oregon are all top 5 programs and were all 3 in great shape when they took over for Urban, Cristobal, and Richt.

I am having trouble remembering so maybe you can help. What was Richt's HC experience before GA hired him? What about Cristobal?

Since we're at it what about Bob Stoops, Riley, Dabo, Fisher, Freeman, etc?

Bottomline go find the best person that demonstrates that they have the "it" factor that is best for your program. There is no formula for guaranteed success.
