Brian Kelly has Michigan to thank for his $54 million buyout

Life comes at you fast. Brian Kelly learned that lesson on Sunday, as he was fired by LSU, following the Tigers loss to Texas A&M.

Firing Kelly couldn't have been an easy decision for LSU, which, according to Pete Nakos of On3.com, will pay Kelly a $54 million buyout. He signed a massive deal with the Tigers to leave Notre Dame.

Things looked good early on. He coached the Tigers to the SEC championship game, and a win over Alabama. Jayden Daniels also won the Heisman Trophy.

However, things went downhill quickly for Kelly this season.
