Netflix is now streaming its college football documentary, “SEC Football: Any Given Saturday,” and it showed some surprising behind-the-scenes looks at the inner workings of some SEC teams. One of the biggest names featured in the documentary is LSU, with cameras also following head coach Brian Kelley as he talked with Trace Armstrong, the agent representing quarterback Garrett Nussmeier.
In a new clip released by Netflix’s X account, the video emphasized how Kelly needed Nussmeier to stay, with Kelly dealing with Trace Armstrong over the phone as he was driving.
“I know our people have some feelings on the LSU side, and so I just want to figure out the best way for us to do this,” Armstrong told Kelly over the phone.
“We’ve got to figure out, like, if it’s a third round draft pick, you’re going to break even. So, you know, I mean, let’s get the data together. So, you know, if you’re not going to make money on this, let’s see how this works for both of us, right?” Kelly told the agent.
“I think everybody understands that. For us, we’re trying to protect the guys who can help us win. Let’s work together. That’s all I’m saying,” Kelly added.

He ultimately had the quarterback stay at Baton Rouge, which meant that Kelly had a very successful negotiation stage with Garrett Nussmeier’s agent. This happened last year, during the 2026 season, with Nussmeier currently LSU’s QB1 for the 2025 season and a frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy, the highest personal achievement in college football.
Not All SEC Schools Are Featured in Netflix’s ‘SEC Football: Any Given Saturday’
While big names like LSU, Florida, and Tennessee, as well as South Carolina, Texas A&M, Auburn, Kentucky, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt are featured in the documentary, fans would not find all teams from the conference in the show.
Six of the strongest and most popular programs in the SEC, Texas, Georgia, Alabama, Ole Miss, Missouri and Oklahoma, all refused to let the show’s cameras take a peek at how they operated. These six schools are perennial favorites, with their exclusion disappointing many fans.
Still, some of the biggest names in college football, from coaches to players and staff, were featured prominently.
