If put in that situation, I CHALLENGE any of YOU to tell me, HONESTLY, you would not do it? Please! He wants a CHAMPIONSHIP - to go along with his legacy - #3 on all time coaching WINS in college football. He is mature, thorough and a proven winner. He had numerous limitations at ND. They are always the "ugly" duck. Now, he will have a chance at SEC supremacy. He is also a very good recruiter. It will work out and he will be fine. Welcome Brian Kelly to LSU!

I don't care that he switched schools.
If I were going to leave, though, I would have the ****ing decency to tell my players and staff what my intentions are before some media dweeb gets ahold of this crap. I also wouldn't call my players in at 7:00 AM and leave after 2 minutes or whatever it was.
What that shows me as a recruit is you don't actually respect your players, their time, or their careers. It shows me that if a university throws the farm to sign you, you first remember what your responsibilities are at home. You don't let your recruiters do house visits while the news ****ing breaks. You don't just dawdle and let the deal get finalized before you wait a few hours to tell people.
Your players and coaches have the first right to know what's going on. LSU can ****ing wait an hour or two before shit gets leaked. And they would-- it's not like there was any competition for that job. LSU knew who they wanted, and they weren't going to finish the interview with, "We have some other candidates in mind, so we'll give you a call in a couple days to let you know our decision, ok?"
If I'm a top recruit right now and I know the circumstances of how Kelly left ND, there's no way I sign with LSU if I receive the same offer to play at another top coach's school. No ****ing way.
