The LSU Tigers firing Brian Kelly was the biggest domino to fall during the current college football coaching hiring cycle. Kelly was dismissed on Sunday night after a 49-25 loss to the TAMU Aggies on Saturday night that dropped LSU to 5-3 on the year.
Now, one of the best jobs in the sport is open. And Kelly, who had a 34-14 record with the Tigers with an SEC West crown in 2022 on his resume, is a flawed, but accomplished coaching candidate with a proven track record in transfer portal recruiting who can make sense with some of the open SEC jobs right now.
