Kelly’s visit comes after he landed a new job in college football. The Memphis Commercial Appeal recently reported that Kelly is working as an unofficial consultant for the Memphis football program. He is not part of the coaching staff and will not be paid.

“Talking to him was really good, because there’s a lot of humility in him,” Memphis head coach Charles Huff said. “He’s like, ‘There were some things that I wish I did different.’ At that level, you don’t have a chance to go backwards. But that’s given me an opportunity to kind of think about some things that we may run into that we haven’t run into yet. So it’s been really good.”

Kelly was LSU’s head coach from 2022 to midway through the 2025 season. He was let go after the Tigers went 5-3 and 2-3 in SEC play. In his nearly four seasons at LSU, Kelly posted a 43-14 record and won three bowl games.

As Kelly helps out with Memphis, he will likely keep an eye on Matt LaFleur and the Packers. LaFleur is entering his eighth season as Green Bay’s head coach and has led the team to the playoffs every season except 2022. With LaFleur as the head coach, the Packers have won three NFC North titles and have appeared in the NFC Championship game twice.
