LSU Fans Demand Brian Kelly Firing After 49-25 Loss Amid Costly Buyout Concerns

LSU Tigers suffered a heavy 49-25 defeat to Texas A&M at Tiger Stadium, marking their third loss of the season and a disappointing collapse after leading 18-14 at halftime. This loss intensified calls from fans for head coach Brian Kelly's firing, with chants of "fire Kelly" audible during the game and widespread frustration on social media. Despite the pressure, Kelly remains under contract with a substantial buyout exceeding $50 million, making immediate termination financially challenging for LSU. Kelly acknowledged the responsibility for the team's poor performance but deferred job security decisions to the university administration. LSU's athletic director, Scott Woodward, who previously fired Ed Orgeron post-national title, may face a tough decision given the Tigers' ongoing struggles and Kelly's perceived divisive coaching style. The team now faces a critical stretch with upcoming games against Alabama and others, as fan patience wanes and pressure mounts on the program's leadership.
