He’s still trying to be a head coach. He’ll probably do television again this year if I were to guess.

Sounds like Huff is a pecker who can’t read a room and surrounds himself with has-beens. If I’m brand new and I want to set bye wheels in motion, I ain’t gonna invite Chuck Strong, Jimbo, and hell no I’m not bringing in paid or unpaid Kelly. I’m sure Beau Pelini, Dave Wannstedt, and Mike Shula have been in touch also.



Kelly didn’t rebuild 2 programs and win all those games by accident. Just because he doesn’t have the drive to do it anymore doesn’t mean he forgot how. Would I live and die by his advice if I was a new head coach? Hell no but you could damn well bet I’d listen to what he had to say.

LSU needs to hire someone to investigate because you better believe there’s some money under the table on this deal.

He’s not going to get millions to consult for a year. At almost 65, he’s probably going to bounce between network spots and popping up at some schools during spring training and fall camp. I could only see him jumping back into a head job like Wisconsin once Fickell is fired.

Don’t forget Derek Dooley. He’s a coaching legend who’d fit right in.

LSU can tell him he can’t do this. He is still under contract.

Based on the evidence in this thread I would say Brian Kelly is a paid consultant in Baton Rouge

LSU should sue since he is refuses to find legitimate employment
That should be grounds to reduce buyout

Memphis HC felt his team wasn't dysfunctional enough, had to bring in an expert.
