Not a ton of one-to-one comparisons for college football, but Kirkland is definitely Clemson. After decades of being pretty good, but not relevant at a national level, they both willed themselves into becoming national powers by just outspending everyone else and throwing cash at top-tier talent and resources.

To add some soccer comparisons into the mix:

FC Barcelona - Cravath
Real Madrid - S&C
Manchester United - Davis Polk
Bayern Munich - Wachtell
Liverpool - Skadden
Manchester City - Kirkland
Tottenham - STB
Dortmund - Weil
Juventus - Paul Weiss
Leeds United - Shearman & Sterling.
One of the very best decades ago, but had started going down subsequently and never recovered.

Arsenal - Cleary. Maybe not as big a fall as Leeds (until Leeds' promotion this season), but certainly not what they were about a decade ago.

Ajax - Covington. Good history, and certainly decent, even if their finances aren't in the same league as the Reals and Bayerns of the world. This might be a general DC biglaw-Dutch league point.

Orrick is the Padres. Just so chill, yet making moves.

Kirkland is definitely the Patriots.
I think they Dodgers are a better fit since they both spent their way to relevancy.
Sure the Dodgers have Mookie/Bauer, but the Dodgers are chock full of home grown superstars/allstars. That's why they've been so good—Kershaw, Jansen, Turner, Bellinger, Muncy, Seager, Buehler, May, Urias, Smith, and more are all homegrown. Kinda nuts how good their internal development has been.

Kirkland is the king of laterals...maybe the Yankees would be a better fit tbh.

Gibson Dunn for Dodgers. Lots of superstar talent, often on the national stage.
Maybe Fenwick as the Seattle Seahawks? Kinda not on top, but always be be branding and talking up culture.
