The search for Brian Kelly's replacement is underway. After Kelly's tenure resulted in a 34-14 overall record, a less-than-ideal 19-10 mark in SEC play and zero College Football Playoff appearances, Tiger fans eager for a winner. Some of the most popular names being thrown around as possible replacement are Lane Kiffin, Jon Sumrall, Dan Lanning, and Joe Brady.
Also among the names being mentioned is Clemson's Dabo Swinney. The move would undoubtedly send shockwaves around the college football universe. Clemson and Swinney faced LSU to open the 2025 season, with LSU earning a 17-10 victory on the road.
