College Football: The Sky is Falling at Oklahoma & Norte Dame
#1
What is it with these winning programs at these major schools losing their coaches? I thought those guys were firmly committed to their schools, especially Brian Kelly?

As far as I can tell, the only thing they are committed to is $$$.

Lincoln Riley seems to be running AWAY from the SEC in 2025.
OTOH he would have an easier path to the playoff than thru the SEC.

Kelly put out the bid a few weeks ago when asked if he'd ever leave ND. He said no unless a 'fairy godmother' came along with a $250,000,000 check - then he'd run it by his wife.

Looks like the 'godmother' understood that language.

But I thought Kelly was Irish and ND was his dream job. Wasn't he happy there? He was being paid well, and winning games....I don't get it.

He'll make amends by depositing that check in the Vatican Bank.

Plus he's replacing a guy (Ed Ogeron) that went undefeated and won the national championship less than 2 years ago. Crazy.

And with a Heisman Trophy recipient to boot! Only Alabama fans are crazier.

Meanwhile, Jim Harbaugh's Michigan Wolverines ended the ten year drought
and beat the Ohio State Buckeyes, 42-27 in "The Game".

Amazing what a $8M salary (for 2021) & 5 year contract will do!

And they beat a No. 2 Ohio State at that, in the process eliminating Ohio from the playoffs and inserting themselves instead (possibly). Almost makes up for the last 10 years of losses!

Kelly was msking $5 million a year at ND
LSU paid Ogeron $9 million

Do the math...
