No shite. Like I said, the infractions committee stopped just short of the death penalty because of the Albert Means punishment. Fran left because no coach could’ve sustained ten win seasons given the penalties.

And accomplished less than he did at Notre Dame.
Step up in competition.
Step down in program status.

Just depends on what you value.
LSU has more resources today than Notre Dame, better facilities, generally recruits better, and seems to spend more in NIL and on coaching.
Notre Dame is a bigger brand.

Kiffin left for perennial career killer university LSU.

They aren’t even in the same conversation - not now, not ever. Notre Dame has a rich history and is probably the biggest brand in CFB. No one is making movies about LSU.
To consider yourselves equals, let alone loftier than, is absolutely delusional.
And frick you for making me say nice things about Notre Dame.

Doug Dickey left Tennessee for Florida in the late 60s. Probably the only time we've ever "stolen" a HC.
What’s funny is that Tennessee let Dickey coach the bowl game….against Florida. You would never see that today.

Nick Saban leaving LSU for that NFL job. He found out that NFL players don't listen to head coaches.
And ended up with a MUCH better job than LSU.
