Brian Kelly will finish his LSU tenure with a 34-14 record in less than four seasons after a tense standoff about his future on Sunday.
On Sunday, LSU fired head coach Brian Kelly. The school owes Kelly more than $53 million for his buyout, the second-largest in college football history behind former Texas A&M head coach Jimbo Fisher.
