Brian Kelly was leaving for greener pastures.

Reports on social media said that he spoke with players at 7:00 am after reports had already came out that he was leaving for LSU.

Footage has since leaked of Brian Kelly’s speech, it lasted around four minutes. Kelly claims he would take questions from the players, but once he was done with his speech, he was officially done.

Watch Brian Kelley’s Speech below:

A text Brian Kelly reportedly sent to his players was shared via social media too:

“Men … Let me first apologize for the late night text and, more importantly, for not being able to share the news with you in person that I will be leaving Notre Dame,” the message read.

“I am flying back to South Bend tonight to be able to meet with you in the morning but the news broke late today and I am sorry you found out through social media or news reports.”

The business of college football is a tough one.

People always leave jobs for better ones, but how he handled it is definitely suspect.
