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

[cyptomcat]

USC and LSU give you a recruiting base that makes building next Alabama possible. Oklahoma and ND do not have that. I think that's why these moves happened.

20 Years ago, we watched Notre Dame negotiate a deal with our coaching staff during the season.

Stingtalk Remembers.

On Stingtalk's 20th Anniversary, this is the best present ever.

Thank you LSU.

CSB: I have been retained by the University of LSU to authenticate the resume of one Brian Kelly.

Everybody check their pm. I need all hands on deck.

 

[THWG247]

This is going to be a disaster. What a stupid move by all parties.

Agreed, he is guaranteed to fail And fail hard at LSU, and 100 million for 10 years? omg! Them stupid bastards deserve everything that happens to them

 

[WracerX]

Brian Kelly gonna make $100 mil coaching 2.5 years at LSU. Crazy to turn down that kind of money.

 

[cbee]

He gonna need an AD like TStan.......no gonads enough to fire the head coach.

NFL Players were surveyed, which was more important a 5yr Career with culminating with a Super Bowl win or a 15 yr Career with no Super Bowls where you eventually end up in the HoF or under consideration for the Hall.

About 95% of the Players chose the option with no Super Bowl, their logic was if you play 15 yrs at a close to HoF level you probably had multiple "max contracts" for your position and the financial security was worth way more than just a Championship Ring.

It has been this way for a long time, if you gave College Players a choice --- a CFP Championship Ring + a Conference Championship Ring, or getting drafted in the bottom half of the 1st Round (picks 17 to 32), almost 100% will choose getting drafted in the bottom half of the first round and the Money that goes along with it.

Championships are for fans and bragging rights, players and coaches are involved for financial security, and if it comes down to their financial security or a championship for the Fans they will always choose their financial security.

That does not ring true or at least players are making poor decisions. Many say they are picking Bama, UGA, etc because they do want to be in the playoffs. The playoffs are a draw for them even though that means you will have to play more games and be expected to sacrifice more to win games.

Take Gibbs: he is more than on track to get drafted and 1st versus 3rd round is all dependent on his combine showing. Going to Bama will make zero difference to the NFL. Only fans think it is important.

And we thought Todd was bad at contract negotiations

Cincy coach, Fickell. Bank it.

Damn, Natty here they come.

 

[aeromech]

And maybe he believes that ND will soon join the ACC Wheel of Suck

Actually, the ACC needs to take the kill shot right now. Kick ND while they are down and stunned, tell them to either join the conference or get out completely. SEC doesn't want them, B1G doesn't need them; if they don't want to join the ACC outright banish them to the Independent waste land, Big 12 or PAC 10. Getting them to join should open the door to renegotiate our TV contract deal, which is the only reason the ACC needs them.

 

[ramblinwise1]

He's just fishing for a counter offer from ND. Nothing to see here.

 

[aeromech]

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

Man, how I would love to see CGC in South Bend rebranding that bitch. Get rid of that dated ND logo.

I’ve been saying this for a long time. Notre Dame will not win another national championship within the lifetimes of anyone on this message board, if ever. Times have changed. Brian Kelly is 100 times more likely to win a national championship at LSU.

 

[gtfan088]

Uh, Brian Kelly, yesterday. ND is/was still alive for a title.

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.

Skinny pants and no socks for the Leprechaun.

One of the funniest posts I've seen in a long time, of course unless you knew DeClan. Kelly's comments after the event should have come with a lifetime ban on being around anyone that he is responsible for - player/student/family member et al..

If I’m a player there is no way I show up for that meeting.
