It’s been nearly seven months since the LSU Tigers paid former head coach Brian Kelly $54 million to not coach for them anymore.
Kelly’s 92-39 tenure in his 12 years at Notre Dame landed him the LSU job, but midway through his fourth season in Baton Rouge, Kelly was fired with a 34-14 record, three bowl wins, and zero College Football Playoff appearances.
Kelly didn’t land a new gig during the last coaching cycle, but that doesn’t mean he’s not looking to land another head coaching job. In fact, he’s taking a rather unusual approach to try and ensure he’s as well-prepared as possible when he gets his next interview.

“Every day, I’m trying to do my due diligence using Claude and AI, asking questions to build some of those answers that I think can be helpful for me as I get in front of an athletic director,” Kelly told Blake Toppmeyer of USA Today.

“... Claude, as you know, is probably a little bit better in predicting some of the things outside the lines, whereas ChatGPT is much more driven right down the center. But there’s some interesting things that I’ve laid down relative to recruiting, profiling, transfer portal, there’s a lot of work you can do.”
Kelly admitted he’s a big believer in AI becoming a revolutionary tool that all coaches will have to integrate into their day-to-day. He stated he thinks it’s a tool that all coaches will eventually have to learn and implement.
To Kelly’s point, AI is a resource that coaches have at their disposal to help streamline recruiting and transfer portal evaluation. Those programs can also serve as a digital assistant of sorts to help in analyzing game film, scouting future opponents, and creating strength and conditioning programs for teams.
Some may consider Kelly to be operating off script by immersing himself in AI, but perhaps soon, some will consider him a visionary.
