Former LSU head coach Brian Kelly continues to express interest in returning to college football coaching.

During a recent appearance on SiriusXM College Sports Radio, Kelly said he would consider another head coaching opportunity if the situation was right.

"What's the right fit?" Kelly said. "You know, I have 35 years of head coaching experience. I've had success in building programs. This is not a mini-commercial for Brian Kelly. This is just giving an understanding of what it's been like.

"I want to listen to opportunities if they're available, and if the fit is right … I would love to be able to be a head football coach again. Now it's just a matter of whether there is a right fit out there for me."

Kelly, 65, was fired by LSU after the 2025 season, following a 34-14 record over four seasons in Baton Rouge.

He has recently been linked to several coaching vacancies, including Florida State, and has expressed interest in the Seminoles' opening.

Nobody is hiring a guy who totally and publicly checked out of his last gig.

He is contractually obligated to say he is actively looking at coaching positions. In actuality he will never coach again.
