Amid the annual rumors that Michigan Wolverines head coach Jim Harbaugh may be departing Ann Arbor for an NFL coaching job, LSU Tigers head coach Brian Kelly emerged as a potential favorite to replace Harbaugh, according to LSU insider Matt Moscona.
In an article from AthlonSports, Moscona displayed the confidence he has in this rumor.
Texas A&M insider Billy Liucci outlined a similar sentiment in November. Liucci, who broke the news of the firing of Jimbo Fisher, discussed Kelly’s future on “Pregaming the SEC” with Jacob Hester and Chris Doering.
“There’s a couple people in coaching that told me, ‘Hey, watch out for Brian Kelly. He’s not a perfect fit there in Baton Rouge. He might be pursuing that Michigan job if it comes open,’” Liucci told the show.
Despite all these rumors, Kelly expressed the idea of LSU being his last coaching job after a win in the final game of the regular season. In an article from SaturdayTradition, Kelly explained why he wanted to stay at LSU.
