Rich Rod was just hired at Jacksonville State here in Alabama. About 95 miles from Tuscaloosa where he interviewed in 2007. Now, RR had it rolling in Morgantown and the WVa people loved him, but he jumped for the bigger ring, job, money. Interviews at Alabama and hires at Michigan. Follow his job trajectory from that point.
Same with Dennis Franchione…..same with Mike DuBose…..and more. Sometimes bigger and more is not better
He had Arizona humming. It was the #metoo nonsense that derailed his career.

Also, here is a thought I had this morning while watching Dan Patrick in the shower...
Fickle is obviously the leading candidate for the ND job. ND will want to move quick, so quick that Fickle may be in South Bend before this weekend, not coaching Cincy.
ND has the most to gain by Cincy losing. If he bolts now and takes some/all staff with him, Cincy could very well lose this weekend and ND sneaks into the top 4 for the playoffs.
Would be a pretty weasel-y way to do it, but it could certainly happen. I agree Kelly going to LSU just doesn't feel right.
I don't think there is any way Fickell leaves UC before their playoff hopes are over. Whether that means losing to Houston in the AAC CCG or losing in the first round. If we don't hear anything out of ND for a little while, one can assume Fickell is going there, and they are just biding their time until the season is over.
I see Freeman going back to UC for the HC job.

So, a couple things.....
1) I could see the ND delay as indication Fick is in the mix.
2) I could see Freeman going back to UC as his replacement
3) I also don't see how Kelly is improving his lot with this move
4) Is anyone else wondering about Syncro's camera feed into Dan Patrick's shower?
No longer GroupThink 'woke'. but it was fun while it lasted.

ND would be a good fit for him. Why would it be better than an Irish Catholic? I'm Irish and have the Kelly last name in my family. I'm not Catholic, but the dude could be related to me.
1. Money
2. He might actually want to win a NC
3. LSU tends to play his type of football
DC is a symptom, not the cause. The cause is basic voter stupidity and economic ignorance.

Other than doubling his salary?

Other than doubling his salary? If money is the ultimate object, sure. If job security, ability to succeed at a high level, happiness, etc are a factor, LSU probably isn't the better location. NCAA has set up a satellite office there, they will ditch you in a heartbeat....or a bad loss to Arkansas.....their fans are absolutely crazy.....and you have to get thru Alabama to sniff the playoff.

SPECULATION on Kelly salary is 5 million per year. So with this deal he about doubles his income.

He's sixty. He'll get a boatload of money just to get fired after three years for not being Saban.

They certainly "could" but they won't.
