Brian Kelly Consulting with Memphis Football After LSU Firing
Former LSU head coach Brian Kelly is working as an unpaid consultant for Memphis Tigers football, helping the program explore ways to move into a power conference. Kelly was fired from LSU eight months ago and replaced by Lane Kiffin, who signed a $91 million contract. The consulting role keeps Kelly connected to college football while he pursues opportunities for another head-coaching position.
Brian Kelly, who was dismissed as LSU's head coach eight months ago, has taken on an unpaid consulting role with the Memphis Tigers football program. Memphis head coach Charles Huff confirmed that Kelly, along with former coaches Charlie Strong and Jimbo Fisher, has provided advice on recruiting strategies and navigating rule changes in college football. Huff praised Kelly's humility and willingness to share lessons from his experience, noting that Kelly acknowledged mistakes he made at LSU. While Kelly is not being compensated for this work, the arrangement allows him to remain involved in college football as he seeks another head-coaching position. Kelly's extensive track record includes a 297-109-2 career record with nine conference championships across 36 seasons at multiple universities, and analysts expect he could land a major coaching job in the coming season.
