BATON ROUGE,La. – LSU head coach Brian Kelly sharply rebuked reporters following his team’s 3-0 start to the season,expressing frustration with questions he deemed inappropriate after Saturday’s SEC victory over Florida. The exchange occured after LSU defeated the Gators 13-10 in Baton Rouge.

“These are ridiculous questions, and I’m getting tired of it,” Kelly said, according to ESPN. “That football team just worked their tail off to get an SEC win. And you want to know what’s wrong? You’re spoiled. … This kind of question is so out of line.”
LSU’s win improved their record to 3-0, while Florida fell to 1-2. The victory marks an critically important early-season achievement for Kelly in his continued effort to establish LSU as a consistent SEC contender.The exchange with reporters underscores the challenges of managing expectations and maintaining focus amidst the demands of a high-profile coaching position.
