For most of Brian Kelly's time at LSU, Notre Dame fans have taken great pleasure in his many failures. However, since being fired by the Bayou Bengals, the school has somehow managed to look like the bad guys. That's quite an accomplishment when dealing with the former Irish coach.
And yet, Kelly won the battle. After weeks of talk that LSU would fire Kelly "with cause," meaning they would find a way to get out of paying him his $54 million buyout, they folded on Wednesday. It's not hard to guess at what recently unemployed head coach is thankful for this Thanksgiving.
