Brian Kelly's Bold Predictions for LSU and Notre Dame | Clemson Tigers Football News

Brian Kelly’s coaching days are over, but his football career isn’t— he’s joining CBS Sports as a college football analyst for 2026, bringing deep insight into LSU and Notre Dame. After four years at LSU under new head coach Lane Kiffin—who’s already stocked the roster with top-tier transfers—the Tigers are projected for an 8.5-win season. Meanwhile, Kelly sees Notre Dame, led by Marcus Freeman, crushing it with a predicted 12-0 regular season run despite tough matchups. He expects LSU to stumble once—maybe against Texas—but still finish strong at 10-2. With his insider knowledge, Kelly’s analysis promises to be both sharp and electrifying.
