LSU head coach Brian Kelly has emerged as a potential candidate for the Florida State football vacancy, according to a report from Gameday Times. The speculation follows Kelly's tenure at Notre Dame and his current stint with the Tigers.
The report, published November 5, 2026, references a September 27, 2025 game where Kelly's LSU team faced Mississippi at Vaught-Hemingway Stadium in Oxford. Kelly has coached at Notre Dame from 2010 to 2021 before moving to LSU in 2022.
Florida State's coaching situation remains fluid as the program evaluates its leadership options. Kelly's name has surfaced in connection with the Seminoles' search, though no official contact or offer has been confirmed by either institution.
