This was the key. The last interception showed it. ND DB pushed the PSU off his route. Not sure if it would have been completed, but it isn’t an interception if that doesn’t happen

Brian VanGorder

He was DC from 2014-2016 I think. They’d always pan to him on the broadcast after the defense gave up a huge play and he’d looked bewildered while Brian Kelly was purple in the face yelling at him.

Simpler times

Purple in the face! Now that further explains his decision to go to LSU

With their new NBC TV deal, and now getting $20 million in CFP revenue, ND will be making the most TV $$ this year. Independent FTW!

Same would be true if they were in ACC with regards to the $20mil. This was part of FSU and Clemson’s frustration with the ACC and was renegotiated. Clemson kept all $4 mil from the Texas playoff game.
 
Notre Dame vs Ohio St should be a great championship game.

Which is why BK is such an ass. Van Gorder was his handpicked guy and he kept him around about a season too long.

If the 2015 team had just an above avg defense we probably win the title.

And to think of some of the defensive talent absolutely wasted during his tenure. Jaylon Smith was wasted his years at ND. Max Redfield who was studying Mandarin at ND said that was easier than Van Gorder’s formation plays.

Sure, it is a sweet deal. This combined with playing less games than anyone else in the playoff? Why would they join a conference? That would be insanity

Ohio st played more* games than nd?

I think it's a product of the market. Like you stated, Kelly was already well paid while at ND. So how does LSU entice an already extremely well paid coach at a top program to come to them? Longer terms and guaranteed money.

Sports contracts are really just scheduled payments. As we have seen, if a school wants to fire someone they are gonna do it regardless of the contact (ex. Jimbo Fisher). If a school can afford to make an offer like that, they can also afford to fire them with the buyout.

He wasn't making all that much at ND -- I think it was only a few million per year ($3?) and when he left for LSU he bumped to the crazy $9.5.

James Franklin's record at PSU is fascinating. He's just good enough to give them hope every year before he crushes their dreams. Not to mention, the only time he's made it to the B10 title game he's backed in because of a Michigan win (or a Michigan loss in 2016) to OSU.

He has to find assistant coaches with hotter gf’s/wives. It’s the only way

Considering what Penn State has had to overcome and then looking at Franklin's success at both Vandy (which is one of the toughest jobs in the country) and then at Penn State it would be hard to replace him and do better.

I'd put Franklin in the top 15 of coaches in the country and would listen to arguments that he should be top 10.

He's still cruising off that 2016 season and that fluke win over Ohio State. A blocked FG for a TD is literally his whole career
