LSU football coach Brian Kelly was fired on Sunday after a disappointing 2025 season that’s seen the Tigers lose three of their last four games.

The Tigers have commitments from two of the state's premier edge rushers in the 2026 class, including Pine Forest standout Trenton Henderson.

Notre Dame coach Marcus Freeman reportedly has no interest in leaving the Fighting Irish for vacancies at Penn State or Florida, according to The Athletic. Athletic directors at Penn State and Florida each "put in calls" to Freeman's representation to gauge interest and both were told "no," according to Pete Sampson.

Before he arrived at LSU, Kelly, 64, had restored the shine to Notre Dame football after years of decline. He was a driving force behind modernizing the program and making it a consistent national contender for the first time since Lou Holtz in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

LSU football fired head coach Brian Kelly last weekend, but the way it went down caught the attention of former Florida and Ohio State coach Urban Meyer. Meyer discussed Kelly's firing on the Triple Option Show, wondering why Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry was involved in the process.

Ryan tore into Kelly on Monday morning, telling his “Get Up” colleagues that he knew the Kelly hire would be “historically bad” when Kelly infamously used a Southern accent at an LSU basketball game in 2021.

Sumrall is followed by Buffalo Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady (3/2), the offensive coordinator from their LSU’s magical title run in 2019. Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin (4/1) and former Penn State coach James Franklin (6/1), who had a $50 million buyout at the Big Ten school are next among the favorites.

Former Notre Dame coach's dismissal unveils a pattern of professional detachment that left one of college football's premier programs in disarray while he vacationed in Florida.
