Brian Kelly says Lincoln Riley settled for too little

[TemplarCane]

I know, it's f'ing nuts.

***** Mario, go get some NFL coaches out there who aren't making the 8 to 10 mil it'll take to get Mario.

Seriously. And more seriously, definitely NFL level assistants and coordinators for Mario.

Zo should have contacts.

Gents, and my ladies:

CFB is humongous business, I’ll post this:

The highest-grossing football programs in college football are...

In college football, like in life, money doesn't solve every problem -- but it does give you a head start. FootballScoop has obtained financial data for every

Here's how much each Power 5 conference made last year

The 990s are in, which means we get a peek at the finances of each conference in major college athletics. The documents cover Fiscal Year 2020 which,

$15m/yr to a coach at a Bama, LSU, OSU is like us paying a coach $7m.

Also, yes we kicked Kelly’s *** in 2017, but let’s not act like he’s some ******* of a coach. Everywhere he’s gone, he built up programs to being division/conference winners. He’s about to get a booster backing he’s never had before. If Ed O can win a Nat’l title there….

WOW. STUNNER HIRE. MOVE OF THE DAY ABOVE KELLY AND RILEY.

JSU to introduce Rich Rodriguez as head coach on Tuesday - Jacksonville State University Athletics

JACKSONVILLE – In looking for a head coach that will lead the Jacksonville State football program to Football's Bowl Subdivision, the Gamecocks found an experienced

Not nearly asich ad a poor *** state like Louisiana. They got much bigger priorities to tend to but clearly dont... nevermind.

They were seriously going bankrupt less than 5 years ago. Unbelievable!!

I think Kelly is a good coach, but not a great one. He has feasted on mediocre teams in his run at ND. Very few signature wins against top 10 teams. Kelly is 3-8 against top 5 teams and has been beaten by more than 14 points in 5 of the 8 losses.

And got blown out by a sleepwalking Richt.

But we created the demand whether we want to admit it or not, it's our fault.

 

[Tad Footeball]

Nope..he’s in for a rude awakening with those crazy *** Cajuns

 

[CaneSince4Ever]

Since Riley's a Texas guy, did Texas ever send out feelers for Him?

If so, this proves that Texas has to be the less desirable job in CFB.

 

[1mg of Epi]

CFB is going to pay a heavy price for this insanity.

Or does it speak to the money these schools make when a team manages to win things?

 

[troycbullock]

Poor LSU went from Lincoln Riley to Brian Kelly and not even for a discount hahaha

They were gonna pay somebody.

 

[Tru C]

Kelly will win. Very good coach. Very good.

 

[clevelandcane81]

Isn't the state of Louisiana pretty much in bankruptcy. How can they afford that price for a football coach.

Excellent point, but when they don't........

SIAP

Not to shabby for a corch who who decisively out-corched by Manuela's D in 2017.

Red flag.

[kryptonite]

Is this for real? Cause I’m f**king baffled as to how people are willing to spend like this. Related question: are we still pretending players should play for free?

 

[Zombie-Cane]

So Miami could have hired a coach already at the $7-8 million range, but we waited to get the buyout to drop $2 million. What did that gain us? Nothing as now we will end up paying $10+ million for a coach. Our BOT and President are pathetic.

 

[kryptonite]

Lane is still on the table. Pleeze Miami don’t mess this up.

But now he wants $19 million a year, 2 private planes and a harem of hookers. And you’re nuts if you’re that sure he’ll work out here.

 

[Zombie-Cane]

Players aren't playing for free. A lot signed huge NIL deals, along with the tuition, R&B, food, training, PR, clothes, etc........

 

[Empirical Cane]

ND still has a "we-need-help" chance to make CFBPO.

And Smelly bailed not only on the program, but those young men who believed in him.

A touch stomach churning. There was no need for this timing as LSU and Kelly could have agreed yesterday, then waited to announce.

Allegedly from Notre Dame team chat after word leaked out about Kelly to LSU
