In August 2024, former LSU safety Greg Brooks Jr. filed a lawsuit against LSU and Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, alleging negligence in diagnosing and treating a brain tumor that ended his football career. The lawsuit claims that coaches pressured him to play despite his symptoms and that medical staff failed to provide appropriate care. citeturn0search3

 

In a February 2025 interview, Greg Brooks Sr., the player’s father, criticized Coach Kelly for not supporting his son during his health crisis, stating that Kelly had not contacted Brooks Jr. since October 2023. In response, Kelly refuted these claims, asserting that he and his staff were actively involved in Brooks Jr.’s care and support. He emphasized that it was “factually incorrect” to suggest he was absent during the ordeal. citeturn0search8

 

Despite these allegations, there have been  official announcements or credible reports indicating that Coach Brian Kelly has lost or is at risk of losing his coaching position at LSU. Discussions about his tenure have occurred, especially considering the team’s performance and his substantial contract, which includes a significant buyout clause. However, as of now, he continues to lead the LSU football program. citeturn0search16
