BREAKING LSU Firing Brian Kelly

[Krymsonman]

The LSU fans reactions on his firing are hillarious. Didnt realize how much they HATED him.

Late in the game last night the LSU student section was chanting - Fi-re Kelly!! many, many, many, many times.

What a shame! He seemed such a pleasant and likable guy (blue font if I knew how)

AD wanted him to fire OC. Brian didn’t want to, but had other changes that AD wouldn’t approve. Sounds like he took his toys and went home.

If Im the AD I put this in the insubordination category and refuse to pay the $54mm and tell him “see you in court”

So many jobs open. Psu uf lsu, probably auburn, probably fsu. Going to be a huge domino effect. Hope nobody wants grubb

I dont like facing lsu with interim. Teams tend to rally in this situation

 

[Crimson Speed]

LSU, Florida and Arkansas jobs now open. Texas job might be open soon if Sark is talking NFL.

Who in the world are these programs going to get?

That is the big question. It is often easy to fire someone, but what are you going to do to replace that person. A lot of these school ADs are going to be in a tough spot because highly qualified candidates are few and far between. Hiring that "right guy" is going to cost some big bucks.

Saban says he’s done, but you know the temperature is rising at his house.

No way he un-retires. Surely his wife would kill him even if he wanted to return. Hed be crazy. No way jose

The Lane Kiffin sweepstakes grows, it seems.

For sure.

I am hoping a bunch of their players decide to take the rest of the season off. They’ll be a serious wild card in two weeks, otherwise. Way too many variables for my liking.

Kelly is a complete lunatic. The way he treats players and staff members in game makes me believe even more that he should’ve been held personally liable that kid died filming practice from that lift that was blown over. I have no doubt he’s the reason that kid was up there that day. UNBELIEVABLE.

I think he is crazy if he leaves OM. Question becomes do they (OM) pay him to be the highest paid coach to stay?

 

[AWRTR]

If I was one of these guys I would take my buyout and no one would ever see me again unless you caught me shopping at Publix.

Officially official

LSU fires Kelly, still finalizing his $54M buyout

A day after a 49-25 loss to Texas A&M in Baton Rouge, LSU fired coach Brian Kelly on Sunday night, with athletic director Scott Woodward announcing in a statement that "we had high hopes that he would lead us to multiple SEC and national championships."

The thing is this is incredibly bad news for Florida and its probably going to get worse for Florida if Sark is indeed flirting with the NFL. LSU and Texas are infinitely better jobs in terms of money and resources than Florida and it may have been that realization that made them leak the potential job offer details about Kiffin.

Kiffin is going to get paid, and is probably going to get to pick his contract details at this point. He may have just became the most powerful coach in the country in terms of his control over whatever program he is at in 2026. If Im a betting man I think he stays at Ole Miss but they give him a ridiculous amount of control and upgrades that they never would have imagined when they initially hired him.

I agree with this. I don't think Kiffin leaves Ole Miss. I think if he stays he will win a National Championship within the next 3 years. He can be a coaching legend there with a statue if everything works out.

I personally think he should try out the NFL again. He can take Kirby with him before he finally figures out a way to beat us.

why are other conference coaches not in demand

I think that’s why they did it, wanting in on Kiffin.
