Brian Kelly Lands New College Football Job After LSU Firing
- On Wednesday, Front Office Sports reported that former LSU head football coach Brian Kelly will join CBS Sports as a color analyst for Mountain West games during the 2026 season, with additional studio appearances on 'Inside College Football.'
- LSU fired Kelly midway through the 2025 season following a 5-3 start, and the university agreed to pay his full $54 million buyout provided he made good-faith efforts to seek employment in coaching or media.
- Holding a 297-109-2 career record, Kelly led Notre Dame to 113 wins and a BCS national championship appearance in 2012, while gaining broadcast experience covering the NFL Draft for CBS Sports earlier this year.
- The network is simultaneously updating its broadcast team, with Charles Davis replacing the retired Gary Danielson alongside Brad Nessler for Big Ten coverage, while Kelly maintains his stated goal of returning to a coaching position.
- Kelly told USA Today in April that this period offers a chance to 'reconnect' and gain clarity, though whether this media position continues beyond the 2026 season remains uncertain as he pursues a return to coaching.
