LSU Coach Brian Kelly Shares Confident Seven-Word Take On Jayden Daniels’ Replacement At Quarterback

The LSU Tigers boasted one of the most talented offensive football teams in the nation last season, a unit that led Coach Brian Kelly’s team to a 10-3 record, 6-2 in the Southeastern Conference.

Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels played near-flawless football en route to becoming the number two overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft of the Washington Commanders.

The Bayou Bengals capped off their season with a 35-31 win over Wisconsin in the Reliaquest Bowl.

Now, the Tigers have an even tougher task at hand with the introduction of Oklahoma and Texas to the SEC.

On Monday, July 15, Coach Kelly shared a confident seven-word take when asked about Daniels’ replacement Garrett Nussmeier, a hard worker who happens to be the son of famous offensive coordinator Dough Nussmeier, the current QB coach of the Philadelphia Eagles.

Now that Garrett Nussmeier is in line to be the starting quarterback, Kelly says he has taken his preparation, and his game, to new heights.

“You can see that transformation with Garrett and everything he does,” LSU coach Brian Kelly said according to Nola.com.

“He’s waited for this opportunity to drive this car.

“Nobody — nobody — is gonna mess with it,” Kelly added.

“Not one player is gonna take away the opportunity for it to be successful.”

The Tigers open the season on September 1 with a prime time matchup against Coach Lincoln Riley’s USC Trojans, which Garrett Nussmeier is expected to start.
