LSU fire Brian Kelly with coach owed more than $50m in buyout clause

• Tigers lost heavily to Texas A&M at home

• Louisiana governor weighed in on struggles

Less than four years after being hired away from Notre Dame, Brian Kelly has been fired by LSU, the school's athletic director, Scott Woodward, announced on Sunday night.

When Coach Kelly arrived at LSU four years ago, we had high hopes that he would lead us to multiple SEC and national championships during his time in Baton Rouge," Woodward said. Ultimately, the success at the level that LSU demands simply did not materialize."
