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

During an appearance on ESPN's Get Up, Paul Finebaum was asked about LSU's decision to fire Kelly. He made a strong statement, saying Kelly not only lost on the field but also lost the support of the people in power and even the players in the locker room.

On Sunday, LSU fired Brian Kelly to add what’s being seen as the best job yet to come onto this year’s coaching carousel. Now, in the aftermath this morning, Paul Finebaum is the latest to weigh in on who the next head coach will be in Baton Rouge.

“I don’t think Nick Saban would take it,” Finebaum said. “Nick Saban wouldn’t talk to Penn State. He wouldn’t talk to Florida, but I think he would talk to LSU at least to see what they have to offer.”

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.

Several names have been mentioned as possible replacements for Kelly, including Lane Kiffin, head coach of the Ole Miss Rebels. ESPN’s Paul Finebaum stated on “The Matt Barrie Show” that he believes Kiffin could potentially take that job.
