Former LSU coach Brian Kelly, who is now working with CBS Sports, took a stab at predicting the Tigers' record in 2026.

Kelly has LSU going 10-2 with losses to Ole Miss and Texas.

Kelly said he expects the defense to be better this season and says Lane Kiffin and OC Charlie Weis Jr. will have the offense humming. He ended by saying if they can keep Sam Leavitt healthy, then "they will minimally be a 10-2 team."

Ironically, 10-2 were the hours Kelly worked.

You think? He's only one of the most winningest coaches ever.

And how many of those wins are against top 25 teams? I cannot believe any lsu fan would defend this fraud.

I’d take 10-2 in a heartbeat this year. So many unknowns and a hell of a difficult schedule.

Coming from a guy with the fewest number of wins against Top 20 teams in the history of college football. Just could not beat Top 20 teams but, due to the Catholic population, was always over-rated for the TV audience numbers.

Does anyone else watch videos like this and think “AI generated” but the “creator” got a deal done with BK?
