Unveiling the Untold Stories Behind LSU’s Legendary Coaches Since 1955
Navigating the ever-challenging landscape of college football coaching at the FBS level, especially within the SEC, is no small feat. LSU’s current head coach, Brian Kelly, finds himself under intense scrutiny after a tough 49-25 defeat by an undefeated Texas A&M squad. With the Tigers holding a 5-3 record overall and struggling at 2-3 within the conference, expectations have clearly shifted since Kelly’s arrival from Notre Dame. His tenure now joins a lengthy lineage of LSU head coaches since 1955—some celebrated, others lesser remembered—each leaving their distinct mark on the program’s storied history. Curious about the full roster of those who’ve donned the mantle at Baton Rouge? LEARN MORE.
Coaching college football at the FBS level isn’t easy. It gets more difficult if you are at one of the SEC schools. Brian Kelly of LSU understands that now better than ever. His Tigers are 5-3 overall and 2-3 in conference after being shellacked by undefeated Texas A&M, 49-25, on Saturday. The Aggies scored 35 straight points in the second half after trailing by four at the break. LSU, which scored a late touchdown after the result was no longer in doubt, had high expectations when Kelly came on board from Notre Dame. It seems now he could be another in a line of Tiger coaches to come and go since 1955.
