Notre Dame dealt with former head coach Brian Kelly for 12 seasons from 2010 to 2021 before he decided to leave the Fighting Irish for the LSU Tigers. While Kelly did a lot of great things at Notre Dame, including taking the team to a BCS National Championship, things did not end in the greatest manner.
Kelly wasn't fired, but he stated his reason for leaving was that he would have more resources and be in an environment to win a National Championship. Well, last we checked, Notre Dame has been in more National Championships since Kelly left than LSU has, and even though the Fighting Irish lost in that game, there is real belief they can make it back and win it all.
