LSU Tigers’ coach Brian Kelly is feeling the heat after his team lost big to Texas A&M 49-25 on Saturday. This is LSU’s third loss in the 2025 college football season, and fans are angry! They want Kelly out of the coach’s chair. So, who could be next? Let’s check out some exciting candidates, straight from The Sporting News. First up is Jimbo Fisher. This 60-year-old coach once led Texas A&M for six years and has a solid record of 45 wins and 25 losses there. He isn’t coaching now after being let go from Texas A&M. Fun fact: Fisher was once LSU’s offensive coordinator from 2000 to 2006 and even won a national championship with Florida State in 2013. Maybe he’s ready for a comeback? Next, meet Joe Brady, just 36 years old, currently an offensive coordinator with the Buffalo Bills. He made magic happen at LSU during their 2019 national championship run, coaching stars like Justin Jefferson, Ja'Marr Chase, and Joe Burrow. The Tigers’ offense then was a scoring machine, putting up an average of 48.4 points per game. Brady is now in the NFL but could he return to college football? Then there’s James Franklin, 53, who shone at Penn State with a strong 104-45 record. His team even made the College Football Playoff semifinals recently. Before this, he had a fairly good run at Vanderbilt. Franklin is seen as a top contender. Interestingly, Brian Kelly also led Notre Dame to a BCS championship game before. Another name to watch is Jon Sumrall, only 43. He’s been a star at Tulane with a 15-6 record and has also coached at Ole Miss. Sumrall is a rising star with SEC experience—could he be LSU’s new bright hope? Last but not least, Brent Key, 47, making waves at Georgia Tech with an 8-0 start this season. He has coached Alabama’s offensive line before and is an Alabama native. Might be tricky for LSU to lure him away, but you never know! Fans and experts are watching closely. ESPN Chief Editor said, ""Brian Kelly faces fire calls after LSU Tigers' latest loss; buyout and contract details in focus."" Will LSU take the bold step to replace Kelly? The Tigers’ next move is awaited eagerly by fans who want winning football back in Louisiana!
