Brian Kelly Couldn't Win a Title at LSU—Why He Thinks Lane Kiffin Will​

The ex-Tigers coach assessed his successor in a Wednesday interview.

On Wednesday, Kelly—currently unemployed—sat down virtually with John Brice and Blake Toppmeyer of USA Today. During that conversation, he offered interesting thoughts on his LSU successor—well-traveled former Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin.

Kelly thinks Kiffin can do what he could not—lead LSU to a national championship​

“I think so,” Kelly said when asked whether Kiffin will win a national championship with the Tigers. “Here’s why I’d say yes. I think that they have invested in NIL for him. I think they have given him the opportunity.”

Kiffin has already started to do damage on that front, nailing down (per 247Sports’s rankings) the highest-rated transfer portal class in the nation. Though it’s early, he’s making strides in 2027 recruiting as well, convincing five-star tight end Ahmad Hudson of Ruston, La., to stay in his home state on Sunday.

“There’s a lot of good things moving in that direction. The recruiting classes, they’re really in solid shape,” Kelly said. “Lane’s a really smart football coach. I think it’s in a really good place, and I believe that because there’s been an investment in that NIL, he’s going to be able to be Lane Kiffin.... he’s not going to take the 18-year-old kid and develop him all the way through the ranks, and that’s fine.”

Re: Kelly said. “Lane’s a really smart football coach....he’s not going to take the 18-year-old kid and develop him all the way through the ranks, and that’s fine.”

Just sayin': OK, why didn't Kelly just try to do what Kiffin is doing?. Apparently Kelly is conceding that Kiffin is just a smarter football coach ....

YEAH:
Maurice Clarett was arrested multiple times, most notably for aggravated robbery and carrying a concealed weapon, leading to a prison sentence of 7½ years with possible release after 3½ years.

Key Arrests and Charges​

Maurice Clarett, the former Ohio State football star, faced several legal issues following his dismissal from Ohio State University. His most significant arrest occurred on August 9, 2006, after a highway chase in Columbus, Ohio, during which police discovered four loaded guns in his SUV and an open bottle of vodka. Clarett was charged with carrying a concealed weapon, failure to comply with police orders, and improper handling of a firearm. This arrest happened just days before his scheduled trial for an earlier incident involving aggravated robbery.
