LSU Tigers coach Brian Kelly headed to the 2024 regular season with the hope of reaching the playoffs at least. With the updated top 12 bracket, many teams managed to hit that point, but the Tigers fell behind. No matter what the reasons added to their downfall, Kelly seems to be content with the Texas Bowl win. But don’t get it wrong, he considered the win as a step toward the turnaround, but it’s still 2025 he’s having his eyes towards.
Kelly’s not just talking big; the veteran 3rd-year coach at the Tigers is revamping his roster for real. Not only just in the player’s room, but he is also making some significant changes in the existing coaching crew and the recruiting staff as well.
A critical off-season is approaching. Kelly’s experiment with his people might transform things or destroy a compact flow in Baton Rouge and leave another regular season in serious jeopardy. We are not really sure which way it will work, but former running back Nick Brossette will not be there to witness it. The prodigy has officially been dismissed from his job after a fruitful three years of service as the Director of Alumni Relations and High School outreach. Guess what? He is not alone in the heartbreak. Fellow recruiter JaCoby Stevens followed the suit.
LSU insider Matt spilt out, ”Two former LSU Tigers, Nick Brossette and JaCoby Stevens are no longer part of Brian Kelly’s staff at LSU. Louisiana sports.net and Palmer were among the first, if not the first, to report that Brassette and Stevens both would be gone and would not return to LSU.” Although, we didn’t get to know a lot about the motive the report suggested, a single incident led to Nick’s dismissal, and he was blindsided by the decision.
Brossette, a former LSU running back, has been rock-solid working behind the scenes for Kelly and Co. He was absolutely thrilled to join the force with the Tigers three years back and left up to the hype until the last day. “It has been a dream of mine to come back and work where it all started,” Brossette wrote upon receiving the job in 2022.
