The LSU Tigers are currently getting dominated by the Alabama Crimson Tide and it's going to end any hopes LSU had of making the College Football Playoff. The Tigers were dominated all game after coming off of a Bye Week which reflects poorly on the Coaching Staff. The result of this game has caused outrage from LSU fans and trolling from opposing fanbases as Brian Kelly has come up short in yet another big game.
Can’t say that I’ve ever seen a Brian Kelly team look so unprepared. They are bewildered. Embarrassment is a strong word, but it applies tonight. It’s like they didn’t even practice for two weeks.

After Jalen Milroe's fourth rushing touchdown of the night, fans shared that Brian Kelly was shooting daggers through defensive coordinator Blake Baker as the Tigers once again let a running quarterback dominate the game.

Aaron Torres of Fox Sports Radio called into question what exactly is getting better under Brian Kelly.
LSU this season:
— Aaron Torres (@Aaron_Torres) November 10, 2024
* Lost to a bad USC team
* Destroyed by Alabama
* Destroyed by Texas A&M
* Never led Ole Miss until the final play of the game
* Would've lost to South Carolina if LaNorris Sellers didn't get hurt
What exactly is this program in Year 3 under Brian Kelly?
The decision by Governor Scott Landry to make the entire week about bringing a live Tiger to the game became a massive point of discussion and a massive distraction.
As penance, the governor of Louisiana should have to spend the night in that crappy little cage with the tiger he had shipped in. Clearly, he cursed LSU with this move.

Everyone across the country is starting to agree that the lights in these big games may be too bright for Brian Kelly.

His record in these big games while at LSU is starting to reflect that the Tigers are only beating the teams they're clearly better than.
Brian Kelly at LSU against ranked teams:
— Brad Crawford (@BCrawford247) November 10, 2024
2022: 2-2
2023: 1-3
2024: 1-3
*Lost to USC (Trojans stink).
*Needed couple fourth-down miracles to beat Ole Miss.
*Blown out by Texas A&M at Kyle Field.
*Blown out by Alabama at home.
Notre Dame fans called for a truce with LSU Fans as they're starting to feel bad that LSU is stuck with a Coach that can't win the big games after Kelly blamed Notre Dame for his shortcomings.
LSU Fans, hear me out. My beef isn't with you, it's with your overrated pile of trash head coach Brian Kelly. The dude is a fraud and is just holding one of the best programs in the country back. You're so much better off without him. Trust me.

Old Row Sports took a shot on Brian Kelly's sideline reactions during these games.
Brian Kelly if this was a “make the dumbest faces ever on the sideline” competition instead of a football game

Entering the Night, LSU had a 15 game win streak in Home Night Games, after the loss they start a new streak.
It looks like LSU’s 15-game winning streak in home night games is going to end. Instead they will begin a 1-game losing streak in games where the governor of Louisiana controversially demanded a random tiger briefly appear on the sideline

The loss drew comparisons of Brian Kelly to Penn State's James Franklin as the two struggle in any big game they play.
Brian Kelly and James Franklin are truly in a league entirely of their own in College Football when it comes to losing big games.

Usually by at least 2 scores.
Brian Kelly won't get fired but, there should be an uncomfortable conversation
The LSU Tigers simply can't fire Brian Kelly as his contract and buyout are so massive that the Tigers would have to demolish their NIL fund to make the move. Brian Kelly was brought to LSU to win championships and through three seasons LSU hasn't even come close. At some point, Brian Kelly has to take the blame and at some point he needs to prove he's the man for the job.
