WATCH: Reporter trolls Brian Kelly with joke about Florida State loss during press conference

LSU coach Brian Kelly took a joke about his debut loss in stride as a reporter during his press conference on Tuesday made fun of the loss. Kelly opened the conference to questions while pointing out a reporter who was a late arrival — only to have her respond that she would be on time if he won.

Brian Kelly takes joke about opener loss from reporter

The joke immediately seemed to annoy Kelly as he began to explain being on time had nothing to do with wins or losses, but ultimately the situation cooled down after the reporter apologized for her off-the-cuff joke.

“Press conference was at noon, I was running from a doctor’s appointment. Got there at 11:57. Brian Kelly called me out, said jokingly I owed him $10, I said if he won maybe I’d be on time. Not my finest hour. I apologized afterward, he was super chill and said I still owe him $10,” explained Leah Vann of her joke.

Although Kelly took the strange moment in stride, the overall pressure to win early at LSU continues to be a talking point around the program. LSU previously grew impatient with their poor record under former head coach Ed Orgeron, leading to his firing and bringing in Kelly from Notre Dame as a big-name replacement.
