After Brian Kelly’s unceremonious firing from LSU last year, few would have thought he’d be in the news again in 2026, but that has now changed after Ole Miss decided to make a controversial appointment with ties to the former Tigers head coach.
Kelly’s son Patrick has updated his LinkedIn profile to show that he has now accepted a position at the Ole Miss Rebels as a part of their support staff in a move that will come as a shock to many.
If not experts who know Patrick Kelly’s strengths, certainly fans who are unaware of what Patrick brings to the table have been surprised to see the move, and are now speaking out against it, with some even trolling and finding connections to the departure of Lane Kiffin, who defected to move to LSU earlier on.
Who is Patrick Kelly?
Brian Kelly’s son, Patrick is no stranger to coaching. He actually worked with his father at LSU back in 2022 and even became a recruiting specialist in 2024, bringing some much needed skills to Ole Miss.
The LSU Tigers named him as their football support and operations coordinator in February 2025, but it’s clear there was no space for him after his father moved on from the team.
Kelly graduated from Grand Valley State in 2022 was a student assistant in college, working with quarterbacks regularly, so this might be a good move from Ole Miss.
