"Fire Brian Kelly bro," a fan added.

Brian Kelly knows expectations are high at LSU

Brian Kelly left Notre Dame to take the job at LSU in 2022.

The hope was that Kelly would help lead the Tigers back to a national title. However, he has struggled as his best year at LSU came in 2022 (10-3).

Entering 2025, Kelly and LSU have expectations, but the coach is comfortable with it.

“The football is the expectations that I thought they would be,” Kelly said on the College GameDay podcast last Tuesday. “I was at Notre Dame. Those are pretty high expectations, too. Everybody knows football, at least they think they do.

"Then, you come here and football has a different feel to it. It’s, ‘Put the right kind of team on the field and we’ll support you.’ They want to win every game, and they should want to win every game, but play the game the right way."

Kelly knows LSU and the fanbase demand greatness, and he's confident the team will do well in 2025.

Kelly and LSU will open their season against Clemson on Aug. 30.
