Is it Jeff? Brent? Maybe even Brian?

Whichever assistant that takes the fall for the head coaches failures.

Brian Kelly could go 0-12 and he wouldn't get fired - we will owe him 50 million after this next season. He isn't getting fired unless they can fire him for cause or unless Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, or Bill Gates decide to take an interest in LSU football and agree to fund his buyout. That's not likely to happen and its also not likely that he will go 0-12. He has assembled a playoff roster for next year. We have a top 10 recruiting class coming in along with the number 1 transfer portal class filling in needed holes on the roster. I fully expect to have at least a 10-2 or 11-1 season next year.

BK has the second highest winning percentage in this conference yet we have mouthbreathers here insisting he's about to get fired.

Incredible.

Coaches that could potentially be fired this year if they don't show marked improvement:

Brent Venables
Hugh Freeze
Billy Napier


Coaches that could potentially be fired this year if their team drastically underperforms:

Brian Kelly
Sam Pittman
Shane Beamer


Coaches who are too new at the job to be fired this year but who could potentially be on the hot seat in 2026:

Kalen DeBoer
Mike Elko
Jeff Lebby




To answer the OP's question, I'll guess Venables.

I don't even know how this is a discussion. Venable's seat at OU is scorching.

After him, I suppose it's Napier (but Florida did improve this season, so it's a matter of whether they can continue to build), Pittman (saved his bacon this season, but that seat is still warm), and Lebby (that program is just a mess).

Napier after Kirby stomps him again for what will be his 4th or 5th loss of the season

Another four-loss season and the Gumps will have the pitchforks out.

Massive buyout and profit sharing is starting soon, he's there for a few years regardless.
