Brian Kelly’s sudden leap from Notre Dame to Baton Rogue left the college football world stunned last fall. What happened that pushed the head coach from leaving the Fighting Irish after 12 years?
In an interview with The Associated Press, Kelly revealed some of the reasons he felt like the move to the SEC was the right one.
Although Kelly had a successful career in South Bend, a national championship ring has alluded him. He told AP he and his wife were prepared to stay at Notre Dame for the remainder of his career, building their “forever home” a few blocks from campus.
