Would fickell take the ND job?

I believe that is a dream job for him. He is a very active Catholic.

Wow that paycheck must have been worth it or he was bored playing that acc schedule

That would sort of be funny in that Kelly was at Cicny before ND.

Seems like a stupid move by Kelly.

Would the committee put a team with basically a lame duck coach in the CFP?

Change of scenery and he probably had reached his ceiling at ND. It isn't the juggernaut it once was.

You mean possibly 2 teams with lame duck coaches?

Carnage!!!!!

Kelly ain't perfect..but one thing about him..he don't play..

He is a hard ass..and a red ass..he is exactly the coach UT needs..

When was it a juggernaut? When it was going 11-1 under Holtz? It's been going 11-1 under Kelly for years.

This is usually how these things go, but Brian Kelly has ghosted everyone at Notre Dame. Just spoke to one assistant who saw reports on his phone tonight as he was exiting a recruit's home: "The news broke when I walked out of the house, so I look like a f----- a--hole."

When it wasn't getting blown by 30 in the playoffs. They haven't been a real NC contenders in decades.

Louisiana is three states. North Louisiana (solid Baptist), South Louisiana (solid Catholic) and New Orleans. Shreveport is Waco. Baton Rouge is Beaumont and no one is like New Orleans.

All the biggest LSU money comes from Shreveport.

I was at the ND LSU game in BR around 1970 when ND was highly ranked and LSU fans were burning Rosaries outside the stadium before the game. If He is coming because he is Catholic he would be better served at ND lol.
LSU fans leave their religion at the stadium entrances.

Stop. When you're making the playoff and consistently winning 10-12 games you're considered a contender.

Holtz did win one but was never close any other time. So tell me again: when were they a juggernaut? The '30s?

The nightmare scenario for Cincinnati fans wanting to keep Luke Fickell has now been

They won 4 or 5 in the 60s and 70s.

ND is a different case. They aren't in a conference, cherry pick their schedules, and play maybe 1 or 2 tough games all year. They go 11-1 and then get pantsed on national television.

Running back for ND…can you imagine hearing your coach is leaving a week before a possible CFP invite?

that’s crazy

I believe PartyBear was talking about Fickell.

Now that makes more sense

This can't be right

Brian Kelly to LSU confirmed. @PeteThamel first. Hearing salary will be in $15 million per year range. DC Marcus Freeman obvious ND interim but also could be auditioning. Is this Matt Campbell's time?

The Athletic, however, reports a more typical 10-yr, $100M deal in line with other top coaches. The Athletic is generally a more trustworthy source. https://t.co/VLJk5j0BOv

$15m a year...Geez. People have lost their minds...

Wonder if this could be enough to throw off the team and lead to a loss against Houston. If Baylor wins I'll be rooting for Houston, if Baylor loses I'll be rooting for Cincinnati.

Same here….I would love to see Cincy get a seat at the table….unless it was an unlikely scenario where it was preventing us a chance

These salaries have gotten out-of-hand, spurred on by these big schools egos to buy the biggest name coaches. The carousel will only start spinning faster as coaches will seek to cash in and get their paycheck while the gettin's good.
