Because Kelly risked Nussmeier’s health for a better chance to win. I bet a lot of those folks surrounding Kelly were infuriated by Kelly’s lack of concern for the wellbeing of Nussmeier’s health and future NFL career.
Kelly should be ashamed.

Nuss chose to play. He could have said no.

Pretty sure that would have messed with Lane’s decision.

Of all the potential reasons to fire LSU for cause thrown around on this site ; this one might be the dumbest.

Case was week, you probably would have lost it and then youd have to pay him anyway + legal fees.

Ehh seems like Kelly and Nuss had a deal in place similar to Jefferson and Les. Nuss was playing no matter what. But like someone else said, onto better things it’s Lane time!

Kelly should have been fired for cause before his first game. The Danny Lewis Jr. dance incident damaged the reputation of the program and the entire university. It probably cost them at least one or two recruits and some donation $$

Sometimes, a coach has to protect his player.

That would have taken a little foresight and planning and not this knee jerk firing,
