Digest more
LSU fired coach Brian Kelly during the fourth season of a 10-year contract worth about $100 million, athletic director Scott Woodward announced Sunday night. The move comes on the heels of Saturday night’s 49-25 loss to No.
On Sunday, LSU fired head coach Brian Kelly. The school owes Kelly more than $53 million for his buyout, the second-largest in college football history behind former Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher.
Kiffin absolutely would mesh with Woodward's big-name affections. He'd fit LSU's needs, too. Unlike two of Woodward’s past football hires, Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M and Kelly at LSU, Kiffin’s career is trending up. His Rebels beat LSU twice in the past three seasons. He’s in his prime. His floor is lofty, his ceiling untapped.
