Following this, a fan took to X to express their disbelief in Kelly, saying, “Fire Brian Kelly and stop hyping up these portal players. They were in the portal for a reason.” Another fan had the same opinion on Brian Kelly; however, they took a sarcastic jab at Brain, saying, “And Brian Kelly wonders what I have against him, bro.” It looks like fans are still upset with the LSU Tigers’ poor performance against the USC Trojans, which ultimately resulted in a loss of 20-27 for them.
