Article excerpt
Former Notre Dame football head coach Brian Kelly will call Mountain West games for CNS Sports.
Former Notre Dame Fighting Irish football head coach Brian Kelly has a surprising new gig.
Kelly, who most recently was the head coach at LSU before being fired in October 2025, will be joining CBS Sports to work as an analyst on broadcasts of Mountain West games.
Kelly didn't coach in 2026, though he did work informally with some teams.
He was the head coach at Notre Dame from 2010 until he left for LSU in 2021. He finished with a 92-39 record at Notre Dame, including a loss to Alabama in the national championship game for the 2012-2013 season. He also got the Irish into the playoff twice, losing to Clemson and Alabama. Notre Dame had to vacate wins in 2012 and 2013 due to violations.
