Brian Kelly Snaps At Reporter Over Offensive Questions After LSU’s 20–10 Win Vs Florida

Reese, Kmac, Pam and Alex discuss Brian Kelly's controversial press conference from over the weekend.

After LSU’s 20-10 win over Florida, head coach Brian Kelly had a tense exchange with reporter Michael Cauble during the postgame press conference. When Cauble asked about LSU’s offensive struggles—specifically their third-down inefficiency and issues running the ball—Kelly snapped back, visibly irritated. He dismissed the line of questioning, saying, “Stop. Really? Is that the first question? We won the game 20-10. Try another question.” Kelly went on to say, “You’re looking at this from the wrong perspective,” and suggested that expecting blowout wins like “70-0” was unrealistic. He called the questions “ridiculous” and seemed frustrated that the focus wasn’t on the win itself.

In the days following the outburst, Kelly publicly apologized. He said he had texted Cauble to express regret for how he handled the exchange. Was Kelly in the wrong?
