Kelly, who was in his fourth season at LSU, had a 34-14 record with the Tigers, putting together consistently competitive teams but never reaching the heights of being a championship contender. LSU hired Kelly in 2021 after he posted a 92–39 over 12 seasons at Notre Dame.

The LSU Tigers have been linked to potentially looking at Clemson's Dabo Swinney to replace head coach Brian Kelly.

After over three years of excuse making coming from the LSU fanbase, the masses seem to have finally accepted the harsh reality about head coach Brian Kelly following the team’s 49 to 25 blowout loss to the Texas A&M Aggies on Saturday night.

By the time the final seconds ticked off the clock in No. 20 LSU's humiliating 49-25 loss to No. 3 Texas A&M, most of those still left in Tiger Stadium were supporting the Aggies. Those that weren't were booing coach Brian Kelly, after "Fire Kelly!" chants had echoed through another second half collapse by LSU.
