LSU is hiring Brian Kelly away from Notre Dame. It is a stunning move by one of the most accomplished coaches in college football jumping from the sport’s most storied program to a SEC powerhouse. A person familiar with the decision told The Associated Press that Kelly was leaving Notre Dame for LSU.  The move comes just a day after Southern California lured Lincoln Riley away from Oklahoma. Kelly became the winningest coach in Notre Dame history earlier this season by surpassing Knute Rockne. Kelly is 113-40 in 12 seasons with the Fighting Irish.
