would overtake Golson or even been given a real chance to? I don't. And I think Kelly would be nuts to fiddle with the position after he finally had it set for the first time four years.

Would Kiel have beaten out Rees and/or Hendrix for the #2 role? My wild guess is no.

Would Kiel have to split reps with Zaire?

Before anyone comes down too hard on Kiel, he was looking at another year as #3 and if Hendrix returns for a 5th, maybe another two years at #3.

If Golson plays 5 years, Kiel was looking at the possibility of only really getting the chance to compete for a starter role by 2016, 2015 at the earliest.

And by 2016, he could have easily lost his spot to Zaire who was very impressive at the Elite 11 (more so than Kiel the year before.)

Maybe he just hated ND, but he was looking at an uphill battle from a competition perspective and was a flight risk from the day Golson led the team to victory in Norman.
