USA Today's Dan Wolken just published an article on
why Florida isn't a top-5 job. Kelly would have a much easier time recruiting and managing his roster at UF, though the facilities would be a downgrade and (unbelievably) the expectations would be even higher.
Definitely a horizontal move, so I still don't see it happening (unless Kelly's relationship with Swarbrick has soured). But God help us if it does. No ND HC has ever left the school for another college program. We'd be in for
at least several painful years of on-field failure and bitter recriminations among our fan base.
Would probably be the end of my IE tenure; I'd want no part of that.
