LSU fired coach Brian Kelly, athletic director Scott Woodward announced on Sunday night, minutes after the players were informed of the decision during a team meeting.
Talks regarding the terms of his departure are continuing, the school said in a statement. Kelly is owed just more than $54 million in buyout money.
Kelly left the office early Sunday afternoon, and did not return, sources told ESPN. The Tigers are on a bye week, so attendance of some staff was optional.
