LSU's football head coach situation in late 2025 centered on a leadership change at the top. Direct answer:

• Brian Kelly was fired as LSU’s head coach after the 2025 season, with LSU announcing the separation in late October 2025. An interim head coach, Frank Wilson, was named to lead the Tigers for the remainder of the 2025 season. The firing followed a disappointing 5-3 record and a loss to Texas A&M that contributed to a shift in leadership. Kelly subsequently issued a public statement, and reporting noted ongoing discussions about buyout terms and the eventual path for the program.
