Brian Kelly makes CBS broadcasting debut for North Dakota State game
Summary

Former coach Brian Kelly served as an analyst for CBS during the Week 0 college football matchup between North Dakota State and Jacksonville State. The appearance marked Kelly’s broadcasting debut following his departure from LSU last October. During the second quarter, Kelly gained attention for his critique of game management when the Fargodome stadium clock failed to stop during a drive. He joked that the error would typically lead to a Monday morning meeting with his staff, suggesting he would tell the crew they needed to perform better. Kelly signed on to provide analysis for select CBS games this season and will also appear on the network's Tuesday program, Inside College Football. His coaching tenure at LSU included a 34-14 record over four seasons.
