Several names have been mentioned as possible replacements for Kelly, including Lane Kiffin, head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels. ESPN’s Paul Finebaum stated on “The Matt Barrie Show” that he believes Kiffin could potentially take that job.

The beloved sports personality recently bought a house in Alabama and says he's "getting relatively close to a decision" on running for Tuberville's seat.

ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum offered an opinion on Brian Kelly's firing at LSU on Monday, saying "no one believed" in him anymore.

Paul Finebaum says Lane Kiffin “would win a national championship” if he took over at Florida. The ESPN analyst added that Kiffin is “torn” about his future as the Gators begin their coaching search following Billy Napier’s firing. Florida fired head coach Billy Napier after a 22–23 record in four seasons.

Nick Saban has been very comfortable with his new job as a college football analyst, but there have still been many connections for him to return to the sidelines. Most recently, the LSU Tigers have made a coaching change and have decided to move away from Brian Kelly.
