The Tiger Athletic Foundation and LSU football program helped put together the inaugural 2022 ‘Golden Cleats Combine’ for women, partnering with the Kelly Cares Foundation to help raise awareness for breast cancer.

“This is about coming together with our Bengal Belle’s with the Kelly Cares Foundation, and it’s for a great cause,” LSU head coach Brian Kelly said. “We’ve got 350 women here that are going to be experts in college football. We’ve got drill work, we’ve got a chance for our coaches to interact with them, we had player panels.

“The significance, obviously, is assisting the foundation and certainly raising money for cancer health and in particular breast cancer.”

Brian Kelly reveals the disconnect with Notre Dame administration that led to his exit

While speaking to Paul Finebaum in Destin, Florida for the annual SEC spring meetings last week, LSU head coach Brian Kelly revealed a tidbit of why he decided to leave Notre Damedespite the wealth of success he was enjoying with the Fighting Irish.

“We were at a different place,” Kelly said about leaving Notre Dame. “I think the administration felt like they were in a position where they had done what they needed to do. I felt like there was more that needed to be done and I was fine with that decision. 

“[Notre Dame is] going to continue to move their program forward. My clock was at a different place – that happens in everything in life. And so this wasn’t antagonistic, there was no bitterness, but it’s just that my clock in terms of what I needed to see happen was at a different time.”
