Dabo Swinney shares a hilarious story about confusing LSU coach Brian Kelly for a popular country music singer.

While on vacation in Florida, Clemson football coach Dabo Swinney thought LSU's Brian Kelly was having a concert. Here's what led to the confusion.

Clemson head coach Dabo Swinney planned to keep the story to himself until his Tigers faced LSU on August 30 in Atlanta. Over the summer, while vacationing in Florida, Swinney was told that Brian Kelly’s wife owned a souvenir shop near the beach he was visiting.

Dabo Swinney got the wrong Brian Kelly. In a hysterical clip, Swinney mistook Brian Kelly, LSU’s head coach, for Brian Kelley, who is best known for his work with Florida Georgia Line. This clip is seriously a must watch. Swinney and Kelly will have a laugh in August. pic.twitter.com/V6WVERuKyd

Opening-game problems have become a symbol for LSU falling short. The 2025 opener against Clemson is a chance to "change the narrative."

LSU had the best player in college football in 2023 (Jayden Daniels), and an historically poor defense. LSU had one of the top five quarterbacks in college football in 2024 (Nussmeier), and a team that failed to consistently zero in on big games.

SEC media days are here, and it didn't take long for LSU head coach Brian Kelly to get into the action. Kelly and his Tigers start their season against the Clemson Tigers in Week 1, and he wants to make sure his boys are hungry for what could be a potential College Football Playoff matchup in
