The Brian Kelly era in Baton Rouge ended Oct. 26, and LSU's football coaching search continues after the Tigers parted ways with Kelly ahead of the team's bye week. His final act as LSU's head coach saw his team embarrassed in a 49-25 home loss to Texas A&M on Saturday, ending Kelly's tenure after three-plus seasons and a 34-14 record (.708 record). While Kelly has plenty of wins with the Tigers, he has failed to win the SEC in any year, and LSU's 13 losses as a ranked team under his watch are the most of any team in the country since he took over in 2022. With Frank Wilson serving as interim, LSU lost 20-9 at Alabama in its Week 11 debut but bounced back to beat Arkansas 23-22 in Week 12.
LSU's previous three football coaches—Ed Orgeron, Les Miles and Nick Saban—all won national titles in their first four years at the school, which only exacerbated Kelly's lack of meaningful success.

Top LSU Football Coach Candidates
Lane Kiffin is the candidate generating the most buzz from LSU at the moment. Geaux247 confirmed that members of Kiffin's family were in Baton Rouge on Monday to get a better feel for the city. That doesn't mean the deal is a done deal at this point, of course, especially with Florida and others also pursuing the Ole Miss head coach, who could ultimately decide to sign a contract extension with the Rebels.
However, the latest news on Kiffin is at least a sign that he's taking a closer look at the Tigers.
“There are ties to the current LSU coaching staff, most notably Frank Wilson, who worked with Kiffin at Tennessee back in 2009,” West wrote. “Add in reports of LSU athletic director Verge Ausberry's strong relationship with Kiffin's agent Jimmy Sexton, and the wheels start turning a little more to see why this is a big factor for Kiffin.” See more candidates on the Geaux247 website..
