LSU Football’s Offense Heading into 2025

LSU head coach Brian Kelly is entering his fourth season with a 29-11 record (72.5%), placing him 5th in all-time win percentage among Tiger head coaches after their first three years. Les Miles leads the list with an 85% win rate, followed by Bernie Moore (81.8%), Ed Orgeron (73.5%), and Charlie McClendon (72.7%). Notably, Kelly is ahead of Nick Saban, who went 26-12 during his first three years at LSU.

However, as the pressure mounts each year to secure a spot in the College Football Playoffs, every season becomes increasingly high-stakes. The college football arms race now heavily involves NIL, with facilities and playing time becoming less of a focus. Coaches now juggle many responsibilities, from managing the program to satisfying players, fans, and administration.

Looking ahead to 2025, LSU’s prospects are strong. The Tigers secured the 7th-best high school recruiting class in the country and are currently positioned near the top of the 2025 transfer portal rankings. Here’s an overview of how LSU is shaping up as they approach preseason training and spring practice.
