I'm guessing the NIL Era is fairly simple if you have more money than your opponents
I'm guessing Sparty has more NIL $$$ to work with than Northwestern

I could be wrong

The buzz I’ve heard is that he was living on Bob Stoops’ coat tails. Look at his USC record. 

I find it very unlikely that a coach can ride any coattails for five seasons.  If you're not a good coach, it will certainly show by then, and after five seasons, you are what your record says you are.  

Oklahoma is not USC.  It's possible he was a better fit at OU, or that USC has particularities that hinder his strengths as a coach.  Whatever he's done at USC, it's immaterial to what he did at OU, I think.

Wow, I would be happy if MSU had landed him.  Thought he would for sure get a P4 job if he wanted to leave

I think his impact is wildly underrated.  I'm a big fan of Hartline and very happy to see him leaving Columbus.

I'm not saying it.  I don't have a dog in the fight.  I just thought it was funny.

Probably even more so for OU fans.

From what I gather on the inTerwEbz, Notre Dame fans found Brian Kelly's failures at LSU hilarious.

I think the "sour grapes" thing is common among fans.  I know a fair number of Dawg fans were hoping Carson Beck would flop and celebrated when he did.    Most supported Dan Lanning when he left and wished him success.  Very few voiced anything bad about Mark Richt.

So, there are some exceptions.  And folks who post on social media are not always indicative of how the fan base really feels.

Can't blame him for going home, I guess.  

He was fun to watch in college, I've always kinda rooted for him.

I couldn’t disagree more. His impact was truly understood and appreciated by all.

Good for him too he’s earned it and will do well. Great recruiter and great coach.    May end up back at OSU someday with head coaching experience.
