Former LSU Tigers<\/a> football coach Brian Kelly has moved on from his days in Baton Rouge.<\/p>\n

After being fired mid-season and forced to be in the middle of a tumultuous\u00a0buyout process, Kelly now enters the TV commentary realm before the 2026 NFL Draft. While some coaches take on the gig to fill the gaps, this might be one Kelly keeps for the foreseeable future. He recently appeared on CBS Sports Network<\/a> to break down this year’s list of players.<\/p>\n

Kelly ended with a 34-14 record at LSU. A 49-25 loss to Texas A&M was the turning point for the program before pulling Lane Kiffin away from Ole Miss. The $54 million\u00a0buyout for Kelly wasn’t a record-high, but put a dent in LSU’s bottom line, which\u00a0already\u00a0started in the red and has about $150 million over the next seven years between Kelly and Kiffn’s contracts. Not to mention, the over $50 million in football roster spending this year.<\/p>\n

Going the direction of TV work will be beneficial for Kelly. He’ll maintain the terms of his buyout and stay involved with college football at a different capacity. As for coaching, he hasn’t shut the door just yet.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know that I\u2019ve made the decision that I want to get back in,” Kelly told SiriusXM\u2019s \u201cDusty and Danny in the Morning<\/a> back in March. “I think while you wait, you need to work. And so, I need to stay in the game. My first order of business is this next two, three weeks, I\u2019m gonna be visiting some places to see spring ball, get a chance to see some things relative to the football side, the operational side.”<\/p>\n
