During an appearance on the The Paul Finebaum Show, LSU coach Brian Kelly explained that his differences with the Notre Dame administration were a key reason why he left.
“I just think we’re at a different place,” Kelly said, per 247Sports. “The administration felt they were in a position where they had done what they needed to do. I felt there was more that needed to be done. And I was fine with that decision. They will continue to move their program forward. My clock was at a different place.
“This happens everywhere in life,” Kelly continued. “This was not antagonistic. There was no bitterness. But it’s just my clock and in terms of what I needed to see happen was at a different time. But they’ll get to those things. It’s just — this opportunity opened up at the same time. It’s time and place. And this opportunity is one I just felt like I needed to take.”
