Brian Kelly sent the following message out on social media Thursday to say farewell to LSU fans:
quote:

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

I appreciate the sentiments and professionalism of the message, even if I don't agree with him being "all-in for LSU and Louisiana".

Good luck to he and his family.

Classy move.

This program could have completely fallen off the rails following Orgeron (see Auburn or Florida), but overall Kelly kept us in a decent place. It certainly didn't live up to expectations, but the roster is in a much better place now what what he inherited when he took over and I'm grateful for that.

We thought bringing in an adult was going to change things and unfortunately, it just didn’t work and we hired someone that was already retired.

The golf stories alone are sickening. The vacation during the bye week. Just blah.

Pretty professional farewell letter in all honesty. And even if it was time to make a move he left the program in a better place than when he took the job(even though that wasn’t a high bar to clear)

Although with everything being said as of recent I don’t really buy being all in as he claims.

And I also enjoyed my many golf outings I while my underlings tried their best to prep my Tigers to play.

Classy move by CBK. Sucks it didn’t work out, but I wish him the best if he picks up coaching again somewhere else.

He hated Louisiana especially the fans. We’re “spoiled” remember? You and your fam-uh-ly can kick rocks
