This season hasn't been exactly what Chris Hilton Jr was hoping for coming into the season. All offseason, Chris Hilton was a starter for the Tigers at wide receiver but, a foot injury quickly sidelined him where he missed a massive chunk of the season. Chris Hilton finally returned to the lineup for LSU against Texas A&M making his season debut.
The Tigers Wide Receiver has struggled in getting back into form specifically on jump balls. Against Texas A&M Hilton mistimed his jump on two plays which could've been massive gains and did the same on a play versus Alabama.
The issue carried over into this weekend's game as Hilton mistimed a jump on a great ball from Garrett Nussmeier deep down the field. As Hilton came off the field and onto the sideline the ABC Cameras followed Chris Hilton and we saw a very animated Brian Kelly absolutely ripping into Chris Hilton Jr.

But…
Sure did look like Brian Kelly told Chris Hilton this on the sideline…
“Don’t walk away from me! You are f**king uncoachable. Who the f**k do you think you are?”#LSU #Florida #SEC pic.twitter.com/L9v5sr5OUf
Brian Kelly blow ups on the sideline have become a regular sight this season with Shelton Sampson, Damian Ramos, and Garrett Nussmeier all becoming victims of Kelly's wrath.
One phrase from Brian Kelly stands out from his explosion
If Brian Kelly did truly call Chris Hilton Jr uncoachable that phrase stands out especially this weekend. We already saw Bradyn Swinson and Sage Ryan benched for the start of the game for "Not meeting program standards". We don't know what has gone on behind the scenes with Chris Hilton and the coaching staff but, add in the fact that players are being benched for the start of the game and the locker room may be having some issues. We'll all be waiting to hear Brian Kelly's explanation on both situations in the Post Game but, for now we'll have to see if LSU turns this game around.
