LSU Fires Head Coach Brian Kelly After Recent Losing Streak
LSU has parted ways with head coach Brian Kelly during his fourth season at the helm. The decision comes following a recent losing streak, including a 49-25 loss to No. 3 Texas A&M.
Kelly joined LSU in 2021, leaving Notre Dame after Ed Orgeron's departure. His tenure at LSU, however, has been marked by a series of setbacks. The team's latest loss was their second consecutive defeat and third in four games.
The College Football Playoff, which Kelly had hoped to lead LSU into, was expanded to 12 teams for the 2024 season. Despite this opportunity, LSU's performance has not met expectations, leading to the coach's dismissal.
LSU's decision to fire Kelly could result in a significant financial payout, with estimates suggesting it could reach tens of millions of dollars. As of now, there is no public information indicating a specific date for this event or the appointment of a successor. The Tigers will now begin the search for a new head coach.
