Brian Kelly weighs in on Lane Kiffin's pursuit of NFL players
Former LSU football coach Brian Kelly offered his thoughts on Lane Kiffin going after former NFL players. Here's what Kelly had to say.
LSU football drew attention for weeks due to the signing of former NFL players. The blame for this situation was largely attributed to head coach Lane Kiffin. Brian Kelly, his predecessor, commented on the matter during a SiriusXM College Sports Radio talk show on Tuesday. Kelly expressed confidence in Kiffin's ability to manage this aspect of the program, stating that it goes beyond his previous roles at Ole Miss and Florida Atlantic.
Kiffin had recruited the top transfer portal class and several high-profile prospects in the spring. However, despite adding new talent, Kiffin continued to push boundaries. LSU is among several schools interested in these players, but the court has not yet ruled on NCAA and SEC regulations that prohibit NFL rookies from returning to college. Kelly speculated on how this news might affect Kiffin and the LSU locker room.
