This is an awesome **** you to Kelly (and great for ND)

At what point do LSU fans realize they made a mistake? When Kelly wants his assistants to come with him and they decide to stay even with suggestions of being the highest paid assistants in the country, that's not a great sign that he was well liked even within his staff. Wonder if he's going to have trouble retaining talent in Baton Rouge.

Was referring to the cycle winding down with CMC still on board. From turning down 8 mil at Washington, to being in contention at USC, turning down 7 mil at Oklahoma, to ND staying in house, it was a lot of sleepless nights.

Is this all real?.....
It's the coaching musical chairs silly season. We will never know what is real or just spin. But the net result is it looks like Campbell will still be our coach for at least another year.

And that makes me happy.

I always felt those coaches were coaching for Notre Dame, and not coaching for Kelly, if that makes sense. Listening to his meeting with the LSU players, I was not impressed.

FWIW...nothing on the OU fiver boards about Matt turning down $7mil. There really are no other details other than they talked about something at some point.

So, was there to be an announcement of a new contract extension before the Kelly to LSU news? Still a thing or was that more just noise.

If you are CMC though, is it wrong? Already have things moving in the right direction. Reasonable expectations, great place for a family, good enough salary. Can probably count on at least 10 years of steady and enjoyable employment.

Taking over a depleted OU program as it heads into a drastic transition with ridiculous levels of difficulty? At the place for football in a football crazy state? Where double digit wins is a floor for success? Intense media pressure and under the microscope constantly?

I'd stay at ISU.
Don't bring rational thought here with Mr. jonas. I'm not sure he'll be able to keep up.
