Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry told reporters Wednesday that LSU athletic director Scott Woodward won't be involved in selecting the Tigers' new football coach, saying he'd let President Donald Trump do it before Woodward.
The Tigers fired Brian Kelly on Sunday, a day after his team lost 49-25 to Texas A&M at home to drop to 5-3.
Kelly, 64, had a 34-14 record in four seasons at LSU, winning just under 71% of his games. The Tigers have lost three of their past four games after climbing to No. 3 in the AP poll earlier this season.
