BATON ROUGE, La. (WVUE) - Multiple reports indicate that Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry was directly involved in the decision to fire LSU football coach Brian Kelly on Sunday (Oct. 26).

Kiffin absolutely would mesh with Woodward's big-name affections. He'd fit LSU's needs, too. Unlike two of Woodward’s past football hires, Jimbo Fisher at Texas A&M and Kelly at LSU, Kiffin’s career is trending up. His Rebels beat LSU twice in the past three seasons. He’s in his prime. His floor is lofty, his ceiling untapped.
