GDW Analysis:
BATON ROUGE: Less than 24 hours after LSU got clobbered at Tiger Stadium by Texas A&M, head coach Brian Kelly has been fired.
Kelly was in his 4th season with LSU. The Tigers had gone 34 & 14 under his leadership.
The 49 to 25 loss to Texas A&M was only the 2nd time in Kelly's history the Tigers to lose in a night game played on the LSU campus.
Texas A&M blew LSU off the field by a 35 to 7 margin after halftime.
LSU is now 5 & 3 overall and 2 & 3 in the SEC. The conference losses have been to Ole Miss and the last two weekends, at Vanderbilt and with Texas A&M.
LSU is idle this Saturday with a trip to Alabama coming up for the Tigers November 8.
Associate coach Frank Wilson will handle the duties for the squad the rest of this season.
LSU was considered to be a solid team in preseason talk of contending for the SEC championship and to get a berth into the college football playoff.
Going down to defeat in the conference from Ole Miss to Vandy and Texas A&M factored in for the LSU administration to say Kelly's time on the sideline was done.
The LSU loss to Vanderbilt was the first time the Tigers had failed to beat the Commodores since 1990.
His buyout in his contract is valued to be $54 million.
Kelly joins Sam Pittman and Billy Napier who were let go recently at the University of Arkansas and the University of Florida.
