Brian Kelly Sends Farewell Message To LSU Fans

Dear Tiger fans:

Moving to Baton Rouge four years ago, my family and I were clear. There would be no halfway. We would be all-in for LSU and for Louisiana.

This journey began with great expectations with my own vision of how to get there. Sometimes the journey does not end the way we hope.

But when I think of our time together, I will remember and appreciate what we did accomplish. All of the exceptional student-athletes I had the privilege to coach. A Heisman Trophy winner and more than a dozen Tigers playing on Sundays. 39 players earning SEC Academic Honor Roll honors in 2024 alone. My daughter and son earning advanced degrees from LSU and a third who began his career working at the University.

The roar of Death Valley when we beat Alabama.

The losses will always hurt, but I will remember all of the wins.

I don't need to tell any of you how special Saturday nights in Tiger Stadium are. I am honored to have worn the purple and gold and been a part of it.

As everyone heads on their way to see the Tigers play, I wish Coach Wilson, the coaches and our players the best this weekend. I know they will do their best for themselves and for LSU. We will be watching and cheering for you.

This journey may have ended, but it's a journey that will stay with me and my family forever.

Geaux Tigers.
Brian Kelly
