"We are in the best place that we've been in a number of years," Kelly told SiriusXM. "It's the first step. We're not at the end. I listen to some of our brothers over in the Big 12 complaining about where we are at. I was like, 'I don't think you should be complaining about anything.'"

Brian Kelly and the LSU Tigers stole the show on day one of SEC Media Days with Garrett Nussmeier, Whit Weeks and Chris Hilton Jr. representing the program in Atlanta. The Bayou Bengals made their rounds across the Peach State with Nussmeier and Co. addressing the media to break down what's in store for the 2025 season.

SEC Media Days kicked off Monday, giving LSU head coach Brian Kelly the perfect stage to talk up the Tigers’ massive season opener against Clemson. Kelly didn’t hold back when describing what’s on the line, calling it a huge test right out of the gate.
