ESPN - Brian Kelly has just informed Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick this past Monday night that he would be leaving to become LSU's coach, but Swarbrick had reportedly been sensing that Kelly was ready to make a move. Swarbrick, on the following Tuesday, said that he was "not surprised" by Kelly's decision to depart Notre Dame after 12 seasons as coach. "There's just a sense you get when you work closely with somebody for 12 years that there's a certain restlessness, and I could sense that," Swarbrick said. "There was a Freudian slip or two along the way that sort of grabbed my attention. Whether that was intentional or not, you just felt like, it was a little bit like somebody who might be open to a different opportunity."
