Brian Kelly Led Notre Dame to Two College Football Playoff Appearances
Kelly recently served as LSU's head coach. During his time with the Tigers (2022-25), Kelly went 34-14 and won three bowl games. However, LSU was 19-10 in SEC games with Kelly and never reached the College Football Playoff.
Before joining LSU, Kelly coached Notre Dame from 2010-21. He went 92-39 and led the Fighting Irish to the College Football Playoff in 2018 and 2020.
Notre Dame hired Kelly because of what he did at Cincinnati. He was the Bearcats' head coach from 2006-09 and went 34-6. In 2009, Cincinnati went 12-0 and finished No. 8 in the AP Poll.
