Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe this is the first time in our history that the ND coach has willingly left to take another job. If you're the sort of person who likes to consider the ND job to be one of the top 3-4 in the country, this is one hell of a dark day.

And not very long after Elko made a lateral move to a different program.

It's time to accept the fact that ND isn't going to commit resources to match the top level. Maybe they're right not to do that, IDK.

The only way to save this from falling off a cliff is quickly replacing with a coach that is a least equal to or better than Kelly, and Fickel ain’t it.

I'll go ahead and say it.... Hell with him.

This is weak af when you have a chance to make the playoffs.

Hope he's fired in three years.

I want fickell but I doubt he'd accept a job before the end of the season which they'll make the playoffs so it wouldn't be for awhile

Does LSU honestly feel like a culture fit for Kelly? Doesn't make sense to me.

Sources told The Athletic that LSU would make an “aggressive push” to hire BK as their next HC. LSU has to save face now so money isn’t the issue. They made BK an offer he couldn’t refuse.

Not upset.
I’ve been saying all year that bk will NEVER win a national title. Not at ND, not LSU, Alabama, anywhere. He’s not capable. So good for LSU, I guess, but glad we have a chance to find a guy now who CAN win one.

I guess the fairy godmother stopped by and it’s a good thing I’m wearing my Depends undergarments…….

Maybe but it's also clear that ND is operating on a tighter budget than other programs which also have looser academic standards and more talent in their backyards.

Right. You can be upset/angry if this happens to be true. However, guys like Shamrock are just BK haters with unrealistic expectations.

I'm honestly not upset. ND is in a great place to get a youngish coach who will recruit their ass off.

Been too long since we had a coaching search. Some of the most exciting times following a team in the age of the internet. Bring it on!

He tried this once in 2012 with the NFL, so not surprised. He is ND's John Cooper. He was really really good and the program is in a much better spot. But he was never going to win it all here, not with Quinn or Del like hires. He reached his ceiling and I am frankly surprised on how desperate LSU must be. I think ND will be just fine, announce Freeman and move on. He is our Ryan Day. Have faith.
