Brian Kelly consulting for Memphis football team after LSU firing
Summary

Brian Kelly, the former head coach of LSU, is now consulting for the Memphis Tigers football team. Eight months after his firing, Kelly has provided insights to Memphis head coach Charles Huff, particularly on recruiting strategies. Although not compensated for this work, Kelly's extensive experience—highlighted by a career record of 297-109-2—positions him as a potential candidate for future head coaching opportunities. Huff is open to reconnecting with Kelly later in the season for further assistance with recruiting as Memphis aims to ascend to a more competitive conference. Kelly could be in the mix for several prominent head coaching openings next season.
