Fired LSU Coach Brian Kelly Uses AI Claude for Mock Job Interviews

Former LSU football coach Brian Kelly has turned to artificial intelligence for help with job interviews after his recent firing.

Kelly, the only coach hired by LSU in the 21st century who did not win a national championship, posted on X asking the AI tool Claude why that happened. He requested sources for the answer. On3 reported the exchange, which included a graphic highlighting 'CLAUDE' in bold letters.

The post drew widespread ridicule on X. Users mocked Kelly's use of AI for mock interviews. Some speculated if he paid for a premium version or stuck with the free one.

Kelly recently sued LSU over a contract buyout dispute and stands to receive a $54 million payout. At 64 years old, he faces a tough job market. The writer suggests he might do TV work while taking time off, as Power Four programs may hesitate to hire him.

Kelly's approach comes as AI integrates into daily tasks like recipes, workouts and interview prep. The writer questions if AI could one day replace coordinators but hopes it does not enter college football further.
