YepLincoln Riley dodges the SEC, takes the USC job.
They've turned their attention to Brian Kelly, if he takes the job, I'm calling it right now, Urban to NDUTwo guys LSU wanted, Riley and Napier at Lafayette gone.
Lombardi says a lot of rumbling about Brian Kelly to USC...said Kelly has done all he can at notre dame....will always come up a few players short to win it all there but at USC can get whatever player he wants in and around academic issues
Really heard nothing about it on south bend tv, sounded like lsu sent the brinks truck. ND will probably go after the Iowa St coach.Is Kelly just bored at ND? LSU and the SEC ain't a bad job, but geez he's at Notre Dame now. I don't see that as some massive upgrade for him and I really wonder how he gets along with that very unique environment down there. Ed O was perfect for them until he wasn't.
he blinded Cinncinati even worse when he left them for notredameWGN saying notre dame officials were " blind-sided"
he wants to be able to recruit thugs, which he couldnt do at notredame with their admission standardsIs Kelly just bored at ND? LSU and the SEC ain't a bad job, but geez he's at Notre Dame now.

The USC job is better than LSU.at a news conference on NOV 22nd he said he wasnt going anywhere......what the lombardi show had said about kelly a couple of weeks ago:
he said his notre dame legacy is set having passed rockne....all thats left is the national title and at notre dame he will always come up a few players short.....he could get those players at USC
Kelly would have had all of the recruiting inroads already and it would be far easier to dominate the west than to go to the SEC and do it. He was probably stunned that LSU offered that amount.Riley thinks so.....Wanny says USC job was fickell 's....fickell didnt want to leave midwest
The terms on the deal were stupid, in the end I guess he had no choice but to take that amount. Surprised LSU beat out ND though, ND has all the money in the world to give to football. And I still don't buy this argument that he can't recruit the same athletes at ND. The Irish always got top 5 classes until the last couple coaches showed up. Kelly still getting around 10th best class on average, but that feels like its on him and his coaches. He just doesn't feel like a great recruiter and LSU doesn't seem like a place he'd go and improve on his recruiting.Kelly would have had all of the recruiting inroads already and it would be far easier to dominate the west than to go to the SEC and do it.

He was the 60th ranked coach in salary this year. He was prime for being poached.The terms on the deal were stupid, in the end I guess he had no choice but to take that amount.

is miami going to make a move or stand pat? make an announcement already .waiting for what?Kelly to LSU, now the road is paved for Urban to get the fuck outta Jacksonville and go get his dream job
They need to hire an AD, he'll be the one who makes the call on whether Manny stays for not, I don't know how close they are to getting their AD, but they better do it soon, I don't know if he'll get the job, but I'm hearing Gino Torretta would have interest. Speaking as someone who wants Kiffin, it's at least good to see all these jobs being filled and he's still at Ole Miss, don't know if he would even take the job, but that's the guy I wantis miami going to make a move or stand pat? make an announcement already .waiting for what?
The U feels like a great spot for them to get a hotshot coach that restores some gravity to the program. They should be killing it in recruiting, getting tons of NIL money in as it seemed there would be when it first started. Yeah they aren't SEC so can't quite recruit at the level they once did, but its just shocking that they are scraping by to get to bowl eligibility. It seems just like USC, a program that should be top of the conference every year with their resources, location and history.They need to hire an AD, he'll be the one who makes the call on whether Manny stays for not, I don't know how close they are to getting their AD, but they better do it soon, I don't know if he'll get the job, but I'm hearing Gino Torretta would have interest.

Based on?quota hire
another dud....very disappointing.........Multiple outlets are reporting Cristobal to Miami is a done deal, apparently there's a verbal commitment, but no papers have been signed, not my first choice, but an upgrade over Manny, and one thing Cristobal has going for him is knowing the area as well or better than anyone
