Ok, since you can't answer the question on if 8-5 is good enough for you. Why would he leave ND where he is in the playoffs for Texas, where he has to play a team that has won 6 consecutive conference titles?
My hypothesis is supported by the fact he just lost 8 games at ND, where they were more talented than every team on there schedule except one, and any time there is a coaching change there is attrition. It would take BK time to get that talent back, and develop them.
NDs team this year is loaded with Seniors or Graduated players, that is how Kelly is successful, it takes time. So would you be happy with two seasons of 8-5 or would you be calling him a failure after 10 losses in 2 years?

Harbaugh is terrible, I would trade him for Herman in a second.
Kelly isn't coming to Texas, he is in the playoff and has won 10+ games in 5 of the last 6 seasons. ND doesn't have to abide by any conference rules or play in a conference championship to make the playoffs. Urban was a realistic option, Kelly is not.
So Texas fans are ok with losing 10 games the next two years? Around loss 3 there would be a fire BK thread and around loss 7 there would be a meltdown.
I don't think there is any chance Kelly leaves ND for Texas, but I think Texas fans would be disappointed if he does.
Kelly isn't the guy that is going to take a young top recruiting class and win immediately. His best seasons he has had teams that were stacked with upper classmen. Then he has a few middling years until his next few classes take shape and he has a great season again. I am not sure that you guys have the patience to put up with 3-4 years of purging Herman's players while BK brings in his own guys, redshirts them and then is ready for them to compete in 2024.
I don't know what is worse news, that Harbaugh is coming back at a pay cut, or that Michigan is practicing today to get waxed by 100 this weekend.
If I am harbaugh I call Day up and say, listen we will play you, but you have to spot us 21 points to start the game, and you can only play players with the last Names A-H that wear odd numbers. Otherwise we are cancelling and you can kiss your playoff hopes goodbye.
No one is touching Jamey Chadwell outside a few of the SEC scumbags.
PROBLEMS WITH THE NCAA
Chadwell has had to deal with some NCAA issues during his coaching career.
He had to miss a game in 2016 at Charleston Southern for violating NCAA social media rules. CSU said Chadwell had impermissible contact on social media with prospective recruits.
In 2018, after Chadwell was at Coastal, the NCAA came down on Charleston Southern sports, including football, for various violations including “failure to monitor its athletic program.”
The football program vacated 18 wins and the 2015 Big South championship. Violations ranged from playing ineligible players to athletes using scholarship money for books to buy electronics and jewelry and other items, according to the NCAA.
The more I think about it the more it pisses me off. I kind of get taking a pay cut as a show of good faith after a absolute mess of a season, BUT it just shows how far Jimmy has fallen in terms of demand. To take almost a 50% pay cut just to keep making 4+ million a year to lose to O$U every year is unreal.
I understand that you can't have a lame duck coach for recruiting, but this is not great.
link for the bluray, its a zip file, so you will need winrar or winzip to unzip. quality looked good when i tested it real quick. Will probably watch it tonight if I can convince the wife.
