Brian Kelly to LSU.Allegedly
https://twitter.com/drewmagary/status/1465487570092142597?t=lHmxtw0uoh3NPXLY2AHTUw&s=19So Notre Dame will be looking at Fickell and Meyer. Anyone else?Also, this is Brian saying it's easier to win a natty at LSU than ND, right?
Maybe I’m naive, but there’s no way Notre Dame can hire Urban Meyer?
I was trying to figure out the reason. Notre Dame usually on the edge of the playoffs the reason? At LSU, schedule wouldn’t be an issue.
It’s about acquiring the most talent in college football. He’s already been crushing California recruiting at OU. If he starts locking out the Alabama’s and Clemson’s that have been taking kids or at least keeping a few more home, he’ll have USC in the playoffs on a fairly regular basis. Pete Carroll’s staffs killed it in recruiting. Riley is young and energetic and has a reputation as an offensive genius. It’s an incredible fit. Now, he could flame out for a variety of reasons but on paper, this hire could be a landscape changer, similar to Urban Meyer to Ohio State
How about Pat Fitzgerald of Northwestern to ND?
13-20 the past three seasons in a weak Big 10 West won't go over well with the Irish faithful.
If not Fickell, Bill O'Brien?
Or that he’s getting a sh*t ton of $$$$$.
They’d be better off with Matt Campbell or promoting Marcus Freeman to head coach. Way higher ceilings than O’Brien. Freeman is a rising star. Rumor had it Ohio State was about to break the bank to make him their next DC. Elite recruiter Edit: Also sounds like O’Brien may be the front runner for VPI
Fickell, yes. Meyer, no. Notre Dame has no more ethics than anyone else, but they need to pretend they do. Urban would not allow them to do that.As for Kelly, maybe he just got tired of losing to Saban only in the playoffs.
I’m absolutely stunned that:1) Notre Dame would somehow let someone with the success of Brian Kelly get away.2) That Coach Kelly would somehow think LSU is a better situation than Notre Dame. It ain’t!Look, winning in the SEC may mean more, but Kelly would be working for a fan base more entitled than Domers, with less reason to be so. If he thinks the Domers have high expectations, wait until he meets the Cajuns. They make Domer fans look disinterested.If Coach O can’t make it at LSU, nobody can.
Coach O is a mess of a person.
