LSU is currently led by an interim head coach: Frank Wilson. He was elevated to interim head coach after Brian Kelly was dismissed late October 2025, and he is overseeing the Tigers for the remainder of the 2025 season while LSU conducts its coaching search. Wilson is a Baton Rouge native with deep ties to LSU, having previously served as associate head coach and running backs coach, and he previously held a head coaching role at McNeese State before returning to LSU in 2022.
Key context:
- Interim status: Wilson will not be the permanent head coach for the 2025 season, but is guiding LSU through the final four regular-season games and any postseason considerations for that year.
- Coaching search: LSU is conducting a formal coaching search with leadership from the athletics department; several candidates have been discussed publicly, though no official final hire has been announced as of late 2025.
If you’d like, I can summarize the latest candidate rumors and odds, or pull more up-to-date sources to confirm any new developments.
