Former LSU head coach Brian Kelly is in talks with CBS Sports about joining its college football coverage, though the exact nature of his role has yet to be confirmed and a formal agreement has not been reached.
Kelly most recently served as a studio analyst for CBS Sports Network during the network’s NFL Draft broadcast this spring, giving him a familiar presence on the platform.
The discussions come after Kelly’s departure from LSU last October, where he compiled a 34-14 record over three-plus seasons, and after a 12-year tenure at Notre Dame that produced a 113-40 record.
Kelly’s coaching journey also includes stints at Cincinnati, Central Michigan and Grand Valley State, underscoring a long-standing reputation for building competitive programs.
CBS Sports has been expanding its college football lineup in recent years, and the potential addition of Kelly would bring a blend of on-field experience and analytical insight to its coverage.
Implications for CBS Sports
If an agreement is reached, it would mark the latest high-profile hire for a network that has increasingly leaned on former coaches to enrich its college football narrative.
