Former Alabama RB says why it was time for LSU to part ways with Brian Kelly

Former Alabama running back, Damien Harris feels the writing was on the wall before LSU decided to part ways with Brian Kelly.

The Tigers are 5-3 in 2025 with a 2-3 record in the SEC. They are now without a head coach during a BYE week before they travel to take on No. 4 Alabama next month.

Kelly’s departure from LSU came as no surprise to Harris, who feels the LSU players did not buy into what Kelly was trying to do in Baton Rouge.

“I’m not surprised that his players don’t care what he has to say,” Harris said before Kelly’s departure news was reported on CBS Sports.
