00:00Do you believe that Brian Kelly, it drives him nuts that he left Notre Dame, never won

00:09the big game, and that he's losing in Baton Rouge, and he's never done anything there,

00:14and this guy's been there three years and he's playing for a national championship?

00:17I bet it drives him nuts.

00:19It's got to get it.

00:20It does.

00:21And it plays on his head, too.

00:23I don't care what you say.

00:24I've talked to plenty of coaches down here.

00:26Ron handles the situation differently this year in LSU.

00:29You could see the pressure.

00:31He's arguing with players on the sideline during a game.

00:34His post-game press conferences are really off the board.

00:39They're really loud and try to get on people.

00:42He's just handling it differently.

00:44And then you throw in the fact that Notre Dame hasn't even a year to have there.

00:49But money might have been there.

00:51Sometimes you have to move on to keep your career going.

00:53Don't stay too long at any one place.

00:56And all those factors may have factored into it.

00:58I don't believe he would have been fired at Notre Dame.

01:01He was in the BCS title games.

01:04He was always in the Final Four.

01:08He did his thing.

01:09I don't think they were going to fire him.

01:10I think he thought he could go win the SEC and a national championship.

01:14It was a better place to win the national championship.

01:16He convinced himself he couldn't quite win it there for whatever reason.

01:20I don't think he was going to be fired either.

01:21And I think they gave him a nice little salary, too.

01:25So there was some enticement.

01:26I do believe he felt the way it's being played the last five years,

01:30you have to be in the SEC to play for a championship.

01:34And buddy, SEC didn't have a good show this year.

01:37It's about the northern football because they're

01:39taking all the good players to NL.
