Another high-profile college football program is firing their head coach in the middle of the season. This time it's LSU, who is moving on from Brian Kelly after 3.5 mostly middling seasons. The news came out Sunday that Kelly was gone after going 34-14 at LSU with no conference titles or playoff appearances.

The final coffin for LSU fans and administrators came Saturday night when the Tigers lost at home 49-25 to No. 3 Texas A&M. The Tigers were allowed 35 unanswered points in the loss, which dropped them to 5-3 in the season and 2-3 in SEC play.  Only five of the 16 SEC teams have fewer wins.

LSU Roundtable publisher Dylan Sanders has been on top of this story from the beginning. Here's his story, with the long list of Kelly failures and what's gone wrong this season.

Update: LSU Tigers Fire Head Coach Brian Kelly, Frank Wilson To Serve As Interim The LSU Tigers have fired head coach Brian Kelly after three and a half seasons. Frank Wilson will serve as interim head coach.

Kelly has SEC wins against Florida — who has also fired its coach, Billy Napier — and South Carolina, but lost all three league games against ranked teams, falling to Ole Miss (24-19), Vanderbilt (31-24) and Texas A&M (49-25).

The Tigers have a bye this week, which will give interim coach Frank Wilson extra time to prepare for the annual showdown with No. 4 Alabama in Tuscaloosa on Nov. 8. Two home games follow between Arkansas and Western Kentucky before ending the season at No. 18 Oklahoma.

Several big-name schools have fired coaches mid-season, including Penn State (James Franklin), Florida (Billy Napier), UCLA (DeShaun Foster), Oklahoma State (Mike Gundy) and Arkansas (Sam Pittman).

Also fired so far is Brent Pry (Virginia Tech), Troy Taylor (Stanford), Trent Bray (Oregon State), Jay Norvell (Colorado State),  Trent Dilfer (UAB) and Kenni Burns (Kent State).

Many of those iconic programs will be fighting over the same coaching candidates now. LSU Roundtable's Dylan Sanders has started a coaching search ''Big Board.'' Here is his story on who might be in the running to take over the for Tigers. It's a great story to read, and bookmark, because it will be updated daily.

LSU Tigers Head Coaching Search Big Board: Looking Over 17 Possible Candidates The LSU Tigers have fired head coach Brian Kelly and will now have to go through another coaching search, which will likely come with a wide net of candidates. Here is a running big board of possibilities.

Kelly was 1-3 vs. ranked teams this year, but the only win was against then No. 4 Clemson in the season opener. The Clemson Tigers have proven to be frauds to be ranked that high, already having lost four games, with the other three to unranked teams at the time.

Last year, Kelly was also just 1-3 in ranked games, with the only win over then No. 9 Ole Miss. The Tigers lost to No. 11 Alabama, No. 14 Texas A&M and No. 23 USC. He was 1-3 in 2023, and 2-1 in his first year in 2022, beating No. 7 Ole Miss and No. 6 Alabama in consecutive games before losing to No. 1 Georgia 50-30 in the SEC title game, keeping them out of the playoffs. Georgia won the national title that year.

The 64-year-old Kelly has been a college head coach since 1991. He coached 13 years at Grand Valley State (118-35-2) in Allendale, Mich., winning Division II national championships in 2002 and 2003. 

He spent three years at Central Michigan (19-16) and improved his record each year, and three years at Cincinnati (34-6), where won double-digit games three years in a row, earning Cincinnati New Year's Day bowl berths in the Orange Bowl and Sugar Bowl in back-to-back years.

Kelly resigned before the 2010 Sugar Bowl to take the job at Notre Dame. He was there for 12 seasons and went 113-39. He had seven seasons with double-digit wins, before leaving for LSU prior to the 2022 season.
