LSU head coach Brian Kelly is officially on the hot seat. On Saturday, the LSU Tigers lost their second game of the season against Vanderbilt, putting a postseason birth in jeopardy.
During the game, Vandy QB Diego Pavia hit the Heisman post against LSU’s defense after scoring a TD.

After the game, Kelly blamed his offense for not being able to score enough touchdowns, instead settling for field goals.
“Look, our guys know we were playing a team that was going to make it very difficult for us to possess the football. We had three possessions in the first half, so it’s like playing triple option. We did not play well enough on either side of the ball to be the better team today, and Vanderbilt was the better team today because they executed at a higher level. So when you look at it in its totality defensively, not enough stops. Offensively, when we had an opportunity to score touchdowns, we had to kick field goals, and that was the difference in the game.”
LSU fans were not happy with Kelly’s comments and blasted him after the game.
FIRE BRIAN KELLY MAN
