Leaving Wisconsin was probably him seeing the writing on the wall for Paul Chryst. Chryst got fired after only 5 games into the 2022 season and then the whole coaching staff got changed in '23 when they brought in Fickell... so he got out just before things became a mess, and his value was still good.

Don't know the details on leaving Virginia Tech, but I imagine it has to do with Virginia Tech being in the ACC. Moving to Notre Dame is a clear step up as one team is competing for the College Football Playoffs and the other the Belk Bowl and Pinstripes Bowl. I don't know his salary in both locations, but I do know Notre Dame was paying Kelly like $9.5m/yr as the HC a few years ago there and the Virginia Tech HC is making like $4.5m/yr.
