If you are talking about his 1.8 mil salary listed on the tax records, my understanding is that it isn't even remotely close to what he actually gets paid. ND pays a significant part of his salary into his LLC, and the school allows Under Armour to pay him directly. ND does not have to report either as part of his compensation. Kelly just signed a new deal last year that supposedly gave him a top 10 salary. Given the contract inflation we've seen recently he's probably fallen outside the top 10, but ND has unbelievable amounts of money to pay a HC. They could easily match LSUs best offer.
