Brian Kelly leaves Notre Dame after 12 seasons to become LSU’s football coach on a 10-year deal worth at least $95M. No previous coach has left the Irish to take a job at another school.

“I could not be more excited to join a program with the commitment to excellence, rich traditions, and unrivaled pride and passion of LSU football,” Kelly said. “I am fully committed to recruiting, developing, and graduating elite student-athletes, winning championships, and working together with our administration to make Louisiana proud.
