"They offered me enough money to buy the NFL team that will draft some of you. Any questions.If I’m a player there is no way I show up for that meeting.
Okay good talk."

??? Bad idea for Riley or USC?This is as bad an idea as Lincoln Riley going to L.A., maybe worse
I have a feeling most coaches would do it because they need to keep the recruiting class together for their next stop...Uh, that was sort of the point. I'm saying I don't think Fickell will do what Brian Kelly did.
Not sure how you missed that so badly.
Maybe if I am a walk-on who loved the Irish growing up. Any scholarship player at ND knows the business end of football and would leave mid game if it meant NFL money anywhere near what LSU is paying.If I’m a player there is no way I show up for that meeting.
Yet it just about never happens. When was the last one in college football before Kelly?I have a feeling most coaches would do it because they need to keep the recruiting class together for their next stop...
It's a rare occurrence that a head coach of that standing even gets hired...Yet it just about never happens. When was the last one in college football before Kelly?
Right, because coaches usually aren't interviewing for other jobs when their team is one favorable result away from being in the upcoming playoff.It's a rare occurrence that a head coach of that standing even gets hired...
That might be changing since Riley was obviously interviewing too.Right, because coaches usually aren't interviewing for other jobs when their team is one favorable result away from being in the upcoming playoff.
True, though Oklahoma was probably a longshot for the CFP even before they lost in Bedlam.That might be changing since Riley was obviously interviewing too.
Because you didn't make it, and instead made a laughably ridiculous claim ("I know it happened with Michigan basketball over 30 years ago, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a more recent example of a head coach doing this")? Your earlier post didn't even mention Brian Kelly. It seems like you're now spinning revisionist history about your earlier post.Uh, that was sort of the point. I'm saying I don't think Fickell will do what Brian Kelly did.

Why?Kirby to ND.
Did people not think Brian Kelly was an asshole 3 days ago?Is the difference between a $15MM/yr lifestyle and a $7MM/yr lifestyle really worth everyone thinking you're an asshole?
Don't people already think this about him?Is the difference between a $15MM/yr lifestyle and a $7MM/yr lifestyle really worth everyone thinking you're an asshole?
Here it is, old sport. Post #77 in this thread. But yeah, it sure is "laughably ridiculous" that I would be talking about Brian Kelly in a thread that's about Brian Kelly.Because you didn't make it, and instead made a laughably ridiculous claim ("I know it happened with Michigan basketball over 30 years ago, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a more recent example of a head coach doing this")?

Pretty lousy to bolt on a team when you're still feasibly in the national title hunt. Reeks of Petrino bailing on the Falcons with like 3 games left to go to Arkansas, except it's worse, because the Falcons had nothing left to play for.
Then again, I don't think anyone ever accused Brian Kelly of being some sort of model citizen. Notre Dame knew who he was the whole time he was there.
Dude, he’s one of the douches you should already have on ignore.Here it is, old sport. Post #77 in this thread. But yeah, it sure is "laughably ridiculous" that I would be talking about Brian Kelly in a thread that's about Brian Kelly.
