All FB coaching rumors and speculation

Question for everyone…. do you really think someone like Brian Kelly is worth $120 million or more guaranteed versus just grabbing the next up and coming young guy and giving him $5 million a year?

I guess if money is no issue, it probably is just for the name recognition and what that will do for recruiting. I just don’t watch ND play and think “wow, Brian Kelly is one helluva a coach”.

Well not according to either their AD or was it an LA journalist who said Riley was their top choice. But not that it matters anyway.

cause USC isn’t gonna save face lol

For sure! It'll be GREAT.

Was it GREAT this year?

There will be great years ahead. There will be not great ones. With or without CMC. That’s sports.

No it is a dumb hire on their part. He's 60. But they are desperate and have the money to be desperate.

Pollard seems confident

 

[BCClone]

Maybe he’s in a metal building with no Mobile reception and he misses everything???

Think JP put major filters on his new office. He gets alerts when ever a different town or school gets googled.

I get you are trying to be all zen like. But we've literally never had 5 years like we just had. 100 years of football and nothing that good has ever happened.

My wife just told me Brian Kelly is going to LSU.
Is that true?
If so, Rut Roh!

Lincoln Riley played LSU and pulled out. The LSU AD didn’t really have a back up plan. Other than Oh Crap! So, he snagged a big fish.

I love CMC, and don’t want him to leave ISU, but if I’m ND, he’s probably not in my top 3 either.

ND can go and get anyone they want…. I don’t think they come after a coach that really underperformed this season, lost 2-3 games they never should have, his teams consistently shoot themselves in the foot with penalties and poor special teams, etc.

Like I said…. I’m thrilled to have CMC…. I wish he’d get a new OC, but he’s an awesome coach for ISU…. I just think ND will be shooting for something better…. that’s all.

Notre Dame most often plays a ranked team or two in September, too. Not sure that Campbell's approach to starting the season would resonate there.

Going 7-5 instead of 10-2 may have been a blessing in disguise for us...

Sadly I agree, should have went 6 and 6 to make sure.

Notre Dame's black alts are gonna be sick

Rut Roh!

Welcome to this thread forever ago.

 

[CyState85]

Notre Dame and Ohio State were the only jobs I thought CMC would leave for…I’m officially worried.

Helmets too?
