Ceterum censeo Carthaginem esse delendam
No question this is about him winning a NC. It would be all but impossible to do so at ND, but it is clearly possible at LSU. Ever since LSU and Orgeron parted ways I have had trepidations about the hire, especially when other schools were locking up coaches, but I am actually pretty excited about Brian Kelly. He runs a good program and with the ability to get better talent since the academics are not so strict, he could be very successful.
Between Kelly coming to LSU, Kirby Smart at GA, Florida's hire of Billy Napier (even though I think firing Mullen was a bad idea), Lane Kiffin at Ole Miss, Jimbo at A&M, a somewhat resurgent TN, and Bryan Harsin at Auburn clearly intends to be relevant again, the SEC is getting a lot tougher. Add in the restructure when Texas and OK come in and Nick Satan might decide it is time to retire. Having to play Auburn, GA and FL every year and possibly an at large opponent from the western division, means he will not be the bully on the block and if there is one thing that is clear about Nick, he hates not being the bully on the block.
Saban is probably looking towards retirement soon. He has nothing left to prove.... NCAA wise that it. The Alabama this year isn't really the powerhouse it has been in the past. Who knows, being completely shut out of the CFP might either push him towards retirement or light a fire in his ass to go for another title.
Looks like ND might be trying to poach Luke Fickell from Cincinnati.

You know Cincinnati is loving this Baylor/OSU game.
