Brian Kelly to LSU.
- Thread starter fishwater99
- Start date
I thought that might be the case about a month ago when they were talking about in on the radio in New Orleans
Sources: LSU is expecting to hire Notre Dames Brian Kelly as the schools next head coach. An announcement could come as early as tomorrow.— Pete Thamel (@PeteThamel) November 30, 2021
Peter Burns is going to get a lot of responses to this tweet:
Brian Kelly is already the winningest coach at NDHis legacy was secured in South BendWhat's left for a Hall of Fame Coach? To win a titleHe's seen first hand that in order to win a title in today's CFB environment you need a different tier of players.He'll get that at LSU— Peter Burns (@PeterBurnsESPN) November 30, 2021

Wouldn't this be the first HC to ever leave ND for another school?
I could be wrong, but I think it is.

Nope.
Two interim head coaches went to Cornell and St. Bonaventure in '45 & '46 respectively while Frank Leahy was unavailable due to World War II service.
Edit to add: The second interim coach really shouldn't count since he knew Leahy would be returning. The first coach didn't have to leave in '44 though.

Not good news for MSU. LSU has a real solid coach now. They will be really good under him and will be another very difficult win to get. I wish Coach O could have lasted another year but it wasn’t meant to be.
Kelly will do amazing at LSU. Truly sucks for everyone else in the West. Esp State. His talent level just went way up. Impossible to get out of the middle of the pack in this conference. Hard enough just to stay in the middle.
Would take a pretty significant amount of chaos for ND to make it in….and infinitely more for them to win it. Kelly’s no fool and he knows that.
And Jimbo was a lock to kill it at A&M too. How has that turned out so far? Let's don't over hype our opponents too early.
Jimbo was never any good. I don't know why he is making all that money. Mullen did better at Florida than he has done at A&M and you see where he is
It’s also pretty much the textbook definition of libel….not exactly something I’d be throwing around for a millionaire’s legal counsel to just happen to stumble upon even if the perceived chances of any ramifications were pretty low.
Can’t blame him for taking the money, but LSU is overpaying for someone who can’t do what they want to do for that much money.
LSU won national championships with Les Miles and Ed Orgeron for goodness sakes. Some of you folks are clueless. Chances that they win another one under Kelly are damn near 100%, and chances that they have positioned themselves to be the pre-eminent power in the post-Saban SEC are also pretty high. Absolute homerun hire for them.
