USC v. LSU

Yes in terms of their respective histories kelly is better (far better) which makes him the far likelier bet to be the better coach going forward. Which is also why he's one of the highest paid coaches in the business. The market is already dictating who the better coach is presently and who the better coach likely is to be going forward.

If Marcus Freeman produces a top 10 F+ finish in 2024, he'll likely get renewed at ND, and that contract wont be anywhere near BKs 10/$100M+. Why? Because Brian Kelly's track record nearly guarantees an annual contender while the jury is still very much out on what kind of coach Marcus Freeman is.

BK just dropped his opener at a neutral field. MF went into hostile territory with a line with 6 combined starts and won. I don’t know if the jury is out as much as we think.
 
Great win for USC. They're looking like our toughest game remaining.

Diaco and his great hair are on Kelly's staff. Just saw him on the sideline.
 
Looks like ND's 2 toughest games of the year may be their first and last.

The LSU faithful won't look kindly upon this loss....Kelly better do something really good the rest of this year/next or he may not be there much longer.

He’s got somebody lined up to throw under the bus!

They only have 3 long road trips. Michigan, Minnesota, and Maryland.

ND travels to TAM, GTech, and USC, so it's kind of equal.
Those 3 are much longer than ours. We'll see how they deal with the physicality of the big 10 and the travel by week 12

You can have Kelly. I'll take Freeman and it's not close

No particular order, if I had to begin a coaching search:
Kyle Wittingham
Dabo Swinney
Kirby Smart
Lance Leipold
Luke Fickell
Marcus Freeman
After reading this, our discussion is over.

We will agree to disagree.
