Maybe Notre Dame, but Kelly ain't exactly on the hot seat these days.
Urban passed on ND for Florida when he was smack dab in his prime. I doubt he’s ever getting into coaching again if the reports of him turning Texas down are true. 

Have to give Kelly a ton of credit. After that disastrous 4-8 season he really checked his ego, fired almost everybody on his staff and gave up some control of his offense and went out and got some great coaches. Since that 4-8 season in 2016, ND is 43-6 in the last 4 seasons. Dude has lost 2 less games over 4 years than he did in 1 year. Have to give him major props for that.

That was more to do with the timing. By the time ND approached him, he was already finalizing his deal with the Gators.

I think the whole Urban would walk to ND thing is overblown. He could’ve went to ND, he chose Florida. Wisely. Easier to recruit top players in your own backyard.

Nothing official has been announced obviously.  And Bellmont hasn't leaked anything either, which is unusual.  So either Bellmont is sealed up way tighter than usual, or Tom Herman isn't going anywhere.  

Probably.

One would think isn't there like 25 million owed to Texas Tom?Then have to pony up another 4-7 for the next guy.Seems like waste of financial resources.Again - I'd give him next year if I'm the AD/BoTs.Getting hamstrung by rumors plus covid see if he rebounds.The Horns seem to be getting it sorted between the lines

The buyout is estimated at around $15M after the expected negotiations took place.  That's something you're willing to pay in order to secure Urban Meyer, but probably not for any of the other schlubs being mentioned as potential replacements.

I'd guess some of that $100+/barrel back in 2008 was invested wisely
