Leah Vann, a LSU beat writer for The Advocate in Baton Rouge, found herself in the middle of some controversy after a comment she made in jest toward head coach Brian Kelly. As you can see and hear below, Kelly on Tuesday joked about the “late-arriving media crowd” that was in place for his press conference previewing Saturday’s home opener against Southern, saying that they owed him $10 as a result. Vann responded, “Maybe if you win, I’ll be on time.” After being called out as “unprofessional” by a Twitter user, Vann provided her side of the story, saying she later apologized: All in all, Kelly took it in stride, but one could only imagine if a media member tried something like this with Nick Saban. Then again, Saban’s lost just 25 times since 2007.

She's trying so hard to be zoomer friendly.

Hopefully people hold her to same professional standard she just offered.

It's just disrespectful and really a product of her generation. She shouldn't have said it and I'm sure she learned a little something from it all. Time to move on.

Yes but what happened in 2007?

Stupid comment that gave national media another reason to trash Kelly and LSU. Good job Leah. Appreciate that.

It’s not that big of deal. Apparently they have that kind of relationship where they can joke with each other.

It just seems like every little thing around Brian Kelly is being blown way out of proportion since he got here by national media.

Sounds like she should work for Barstool. But she doesn’t have the looks.

I miss Delly. Delly was an anomaly. A Coach’s kid that happens to be an excellent writer.

She's a fricking nobody and hasn't earned the right to talk like that.

National media likes LSU to be a sideshow. They loved to clown on miles and Coach O and hated to see them gone. Now they’re trying to make Kelly a cartoon character as well but it ain’t happening. Once Kelly gets rolling this foolishness will stop.

It’s out of line for a reporter to say regardless. If she and Kelly have that kind of relationship they can go back and forth like that in private not at a press conference.

Now she’s given the media another reason to shite on LSU which they will of course run with.

National media wants LSU’s HC to be a cartoon character to satisfy their narrative. You all noticed the national media is making Coach O out to be some immortal victim? The man that imploded the program. Thats how fricking twisted this shite has become. Today’s media is trash and its why Josh Pate and Crain & Co are killing it

Kelly should just ignore her from now on. Put this child on timeout.

I see why she did what she did. Playing it as a joke and all now is whatever to me

“Hey, you owe me $10 next time you’re late! Lol”









Kids these days.

Just zero self awareness or self discipline.


Or just no ability to read a room and be witty on the spot
