Exactly. The AD was not surprised when Kelly took the LSU job. He said he knew things were going on for a few weeks (my paraphrase)...i.e. LSU probably asked permission to interview.I doubt it changes anything for ND.... sure, if they want him - but they already knew that going in. And so does Freeman. If they want him, he knows. If they don't, he already knows. ND already knows he's going to have other opportunities and offers. Like if they hire Fickel Cincinnati would probably try to bring him back.
It kinda matters but at the same point... not entirely. Both ND and Freeman already knew where they stood with each other before this broke
