The race is on to replace Brian Kelly at LSU and to get it right this time, and predictably a flurry of high-profile names have already been connected to what i

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

ESPN analyst Paul Finebaum believes there is one "home run" hire for the Tigers and they don't have to look far. He named Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin as a name to watch during Monday's Get Up. This is now the second time Finebaum has called Kiffin a perfect fit, but says this time is different.

The head coach most often linked to the job is Lane Kiffin of the Ole Miss Rebels. However, Kiffin has also been considered for the LSU position. SEC Network's Paul Finebaum revaled on "The Matt Barrie Show" that LSU is a more appealing job, while Florida has become less attractive than it used to be.

On Sunday, LSU fired head coach Brian Kelly, who was in his fourth season with the program. During an appearance on First Takeon Monday, ESPN’s Paul Finebaum revealed whether he believes it was necessary for LSU to part ways with Kelly.

Paul Finebaum believes Lane Kiffin is the ideal replacement for Brian Kelly at LSU, explaining on ESPN’s Get Up why the Ole Miss coach should prefer the LSU job over Florida and Penn State amid both programs’ coaching searches.

Paul Finebaum believes Brian Kelly’s job at LSU is in serious jeopardy after a 49–25 loss to Texas A&M, saying it’s “DEFCON 1” in Baton Rouge. Kelly’s massive $52 million buyout could, however, complicate any immediate move.
