Brian Kelly is expected to be hired by LSU after a 12-year run at Notre Dame, according to Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports.
LSU athletic director Scott Woodward announced in October former head coach Ed Orgeron would not return after the 2021 season, his sixth year with the program. The Tigers finished the regular season with a 6-6 record.
The team also struggled to a 5-5 record during the COVID-19-shortened 2020 season.
While the past two years fell short of expectations, Orgeron did lead the Tigers to a 2019 national championship behind Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow.
