Brian Kelly to LSU [Mod Note: Happy 20th Anniversary Notre Dame scumbags]

Guess I just figured out where Gibbs is headed.

The Notre Dame butthurt right now must be at levels rivaling our own. Which brings me joy. I'm sure they can't fathom that anyone would leave them for something better.

Doesn’t the timing seem odd? ND still has a legitimate chance to make the playoffs this year still.

Cincinnati, his former school, (likely) getting into the playoffs over Notre Dame probably got him thinking

LSU probably wasn't willing to wait.

 

[ATLNative]

Wow. This seems like a mistake.

Agree. I can’t see this working but….

 

[ATLNative]

Makes zero sense. Zero. Something we are missing here.

I wonder what the LSU fan base is saying?

We wouldn’t be able to understand them anyway.

A quick browse of one of their boards makes it seem like Fickell is the replacement of choice.

Great. Then a Cincy team with a lame duck or interim HC gets in the playoffs - an even weaker hurdle for the Mutts.

I hope the committee has the sense to realize UCinn is not one of the best 4 teams. Even better, UofH beats them this weekend.

He's gone to the BCS title game/CFP three seasons in the past decade. I realize he hasn't ever actually won it, but man...it's not easy to get so close, especially in the SEC. If I were him I would've stayed in South Bend.

Maybe part of it is also that he's just ready for a change of scenery? 11 years is pretty long to be in one place.

And the mega SEC is going to be the place to be in a couple more years.

Some schools are willing to play big boy football while fans of others are resigned to watch mediocrity.

 

[AlabamaBuzz]

Nah it makes perfect sense. The ceiling at LSU is higher than ND.

Yes, & if he wants it, it will be his.

 

[superjacket21]

Hello Irish. Would you like one lightly used head coach? We’ll even throw in a washed out DC.

[JoeCakeEater]

Can’t believe an upstanding ND coach would use such language.

while fans of others can only dream to watch mediocrity.

Know who would be great at ND? Geoff Collins. They should offer him tomorrow.
