In a surprising twist, former NFL player Ryan Clark suggests a potential coaching change for LSU. Clark believes that if LSU reaches the College Football Playoff, Penn State should consider hiring Brian Kelly as their head coach.
But here's where it gets intriguing: Clark's proposal comes just before LSU's crucial game against Vanderbilt, a match that could define the Tigers' season. Clark, a panelist on 'First Take', sees this game as a test for LSU's offense, which has yet to live up to its preseason hype. He questions whether the Tigers can showcase their true potential, especially with their star quarterback Garrett Nussmeier and a talented receiving corps.
Clark's statement is bold, considering LSU's success under Kelly. With a win, Kelly's record with the Tigers would be an impressive 35-12. However, Clark argues that Kelly's background as a Northeast native might make him a better fit for Penn State. Kelly's coaching prowess is undeniable, with a career record of 200-74, including a remarkable 113-40 stint at Notre Dame.
And this is the part that sparks debate: Is it fair to suggest a coaching change when LSU is on the cusp of potential playoff success? Is Clark's proposal a strategic move or a controversial distraction?
While it may seem like a premature suggestion, Clark's idea could gain traction if LSU's season unfolds in a certain way. This unexpected proposal has certainly added an exciting twist to the college football coaching carousel.
