LSU Athletics has announced the firing of head coach Brian Kelly after a disappointing fourth season, which included multiple losses, notably a blowout defeat to Texas A&M. The decision, which comes amid fan dissatisfaction and poor team performance, is expected to trigger a significant $54 million buyout. As the program navigates this leadership change, discussions are ongoing regarding potential candidates for the head coaching position, with names like Lane Kiffin and Dabo Swinney emerging as possibilities. Meanwhile, Frank Wilson has been named the interim head coach as LSU searches for a long-term successor.
