An already crazy college football coaching cycle kicked up a level to insanity Sunday evening as LSU made the jaw-dropping decision to fire Brian Kelly after a 5-3 start to 2025, triggering a $50-plus million buyout in the process, according to multiple outlets.

LSU has four games remaining in the regular season, including Alabama in two weeks followed by matchups against Arkansas, Western Kentucky and Oklahoma. If the Tigers don't fire Kelly over their upcoming bye week, the final four games could determine his fate in Death Valley.
