Obviously we don't know for sure what the terms are since USC is private but I've seen this on a couple of different websites.

Let's not forget how horrid Northern Indiana is to live. Or that Notre Dame doesn't have the sway it once did.
While I am not surprised that LSU would be chasing Kelly. I am just surprised that the Domers couldn't find a way to keep him.

Playing PAC 12 cupcakes will be better for him, than playing Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Ole Miss, Florida, Texas A&M, etc.I don’t think he left OU because he was scared of the SEC. Sure there’s an easier path to the playoff in the Pac12 but I think the terms of the contract in that tweet were why he left.

OU needed the SEC to not die a slow death in Big 12 due to NIL, recruiting and tv $. What does that do pressure wise for LR who was supposed to win it this year and things didn’t fall in line with O’Line/ QB and D was solid but inconsistent. Great ability to recruit CA talent to OU. $ is a push due to taxes and cost of living, BUT media capital of the world and when USC is good, they are a force in media. He can own PAC 12 and CA and be front runner for any NFL job after if he wants it. Scared of SEC ? - a lot of Okies are saying it, but from a pure “agent” perspective - I am advising him to take it. His age, personality, aura, style/charisma is perfect for USC. That aside - his agent was talking to them day 1 of opening and the LSU job was in play but more of smoke screen - mentally he has been gone since bye week and we all knew something was off - he had never lost a game in November and it showed he wasn’t 100% in to it at Baylor. Now OU is getting gutted of all his 23 and most 22 recruits and scrambling. My opinion is we have been pretty soft and not physical under Riley - so losing recruits and starting over with a fresh base will take some time but might actually be better long run depending on staff we get. BUT an absolute home run for USC and PAC 12 and perfect fit for them.ballcoach15 wrote: ↑November 30th, 2021, 4:39 pm "Best coaching job in the country" is debatable.

That kind of deal is really hard for any sane person to turn down.
And after looking into it a bit I think it’s the same for BK leaving ND for LSU.
Their grandchildren will never have to worry about money. Hard to say no to that.
