"Oklahoma and Notre Dame became the sixth and seventh FBS teams to earn 900 wins in program history on Saturday -- a feat the Irish accomplished for the second time.

Notre Dame originally reached 900 wins in 2017, but the NCAA mandated in February 2018 that the school vacate 21 victories because of academic misconduct, including all 12 wins from the school's 2012 run to the national championship game, as well as nine from 2013....

The schools join Alabama, Michigan, Nebraska, Ohio State and Texas as the only programs to achieve 900 wins...."

According to Wiki, the rest of the top 25:
8 Penn St. 891
9 USC 839
10 Tennessee 838
11 Georgia 819
12 LSU 800
13 Auburn 767

21 Pitt 724
22 Syracuse 719
23 Arkansas 715
24 Navy 711

Brian Kelly, while not an elite coach, has quietly rebuilt the Irish into a top ten level team since 2016.

Since then, ND has won 25 of its last 30 games including 15 of its last 17 (Clemson, Georgia the losses) games.

He's done quite well with his limited coaching budget. A lot if not most P5 coordinators make as much or more than he does as head coach. That would have to limit him with his choices on assistants. His defensive line dominated perhaps the best offensive line in college football at UGA.

(1) Vacating wins is weak sauce. It's silly to pretend the games never happened.

(2) So, NCAA, academic misconduct? How many wins did you make North Carolina men's basketball vacate for that?

Brian Kelly is 84-36 at ND (I included the "vacated" wins).

He may end up with the most wins of any ND head coach.

Rockne won 105. Holtz won 100. Parseghian won 95. Frank Leahy won 87.

Don't believe that coordinators make more than Brian Kelly.

ND offered defensive coordinator Mike Elko $1.5 million a year, but he left for Texas A&M after unsuccessfully trying to play that school off for even more money from ND.

"The most recent rebuffed overture from the Aggies coaxed a new contract from ND for Elko, which he verbally agreed to. One source described the compensation as putting Elko in the top 10 highest paid defensive coordinators in the country and having the highest salary for an assistant in Notre Dame history.

Another put it in excess of $1.5 million a year, which, per USA Today’s data base for assistants’ salaries, would have put him behind only Clemson's Brent Venables ($1.7 million) and the man who flirted with and turned down Texas A&M Wednesday night, LSU’s Dave Aranda.'

I have seen sources report that Kelly makes around $4.5 million a year in total compensation.

ND is private and doesn't have to disclose total salaries like public schools do.

ND self disclosed to the NCAA that a former student athletic trainer committed academic misconduct by doing substantial course work for two players and impermissibly helped six others.


"The school ripped the NCAA for its decision to strip the wins, which included the best season of coach Brian Kelly’s tenure in charge of the storied program.

The school said it would appeal and the Rev. John Jenkins, the university president, said the NCAA has never before vacated the records of a school that had no involvement in the underlying academic misconduct.

He also noted the NCAA has since voted to change the rule that brought this case under NCAA jurisdiction rather than leaving it to individual schools."

It also cooperated fully with the NCAA investigation.

No good deed goes unpunished, I guess?

I had read that he was limited to no more than the president of Notre Dame which was in the vicinity of 400k.

So I'm guessing he's paid similar amounts to other power school coaches, just that most is paid through some foundation instead of the university.
