In the last 7 years, NDs best personnel
- Tony Alford - ND RB Coach to OSU RB Coach (pay raise)
- Mike Elko - ND DC to A&M DC (pay raise)
- Clark Lea - promotion to head coach (this one i concede)
- Brian Kelly - ND HC to LSU HC (pay raise)
- Tom Rees - ND OC to Alabama OC (pay raise)
Add this to the fact that other blue blood organizations are just bringing in way more talent to their organization than ND is and it gets pretty obvious as to why ND has been stuck in the 2nd and 3rd tier for much of the last decade
