Just in: A brilliant head coach Brian Kelly has abruptly departs from LSU Tigers Amid issues due to…

BATON ROUGE, La.– LSU head coach Brian Kelly did not mince words when asked about Florida Gators head coach Billy Napier’s hot seat.

“Craziness. It’s crazy,” he said on Monday.

Napier, who fell to 20-20 as Florida’s head coach after a shocking loss to USF last Saturday, will travel to LSU on Saturday for his fourth head-to-head matchup with Kelly, who was hired as LSU’s head coach ahead of the 2022 season, the same as Napier.

While both entered roughly similar circumstances, Kelly has had quick success with an SEC Championship Game appearance, a Heisman Trophy winner in quarterback Jayden Daniels and a 31-11 overall record.

Meanwhile, Napier has had only one winning season in last year’s 8-5 finish, which included four-straight wins to end the season and a win over Kelly’s Tigers.

“He’s a really good football coach,” Kelly said. “He knows his team. He knows what their strengths and weaknesses are. You can see it on film. He’s building a culture that is fit to his eye in terms of what he wants to do. He’s doing it his way, and that’s awesome.”

“Billy’s come in after two or three other head coaches that changed the way the other coaches did it. And now he’s starting to stabilize that program. So people talk about whatever they want. It’s crazy. It takes you what it takes, and he’ll get that thing where he wants it. I think he’s got it right now. They beat us last year.”

Now less than a calendar year since Napier saved his job with his first win over LSU, which sparked a five-game win streak including this year’s season opener against Long Island, he finds himself back on an outside hot seat with national noise surrounding the program.
