Things seem to have escalated on the sidelines of LSU’s Saturday game against Florida, as head coach Brian Kelly was seen giving an earful to one of his players, Chris Hilton after he made a rookie mistake of misjudging a jump that had the potential to lead a significant scoring play.
The heated sideline exchange caught the eyes of an ESPN 1045 radio personality Hunter McCann, who attempted to interpret the conversation between Kelly and Hilton Jr., by lip reading and connecting words.
Don’t walk away from me! You are f**king un-coachable. Who the f**k do you think you are?
Hunter McCann interpreted by reading the head coach Kelly
I am not a professional lip reader….

But…
Sure did look like Brian Kelly told Chris Hilton this on the sideline…

Interestingly, this wasn’t the only controversial incident from Saturday’s college football match. After Kelly yelled at Hilton Jr. in the first quarter, wide receiver Kyren Lacy was seen yelling at Kelly in the third quarter.
In the clip, Lacy could be seen letting Kelly have it. The coach’s eyes widened as he seemingly realized what was happening. The ABC camera quickly cut away from the interaction.

Following this 27-16 feat by the hands of Florida, the Tigers will drop out of the conference ranking. It marked their third loss in a row– against Texas A&M, Alabama, and Florida on Saturday, making it tough for them to obtain nine wins for a winning season.
Brian Kelly stresses importance of player focus for season’s end
Despite the two sideline incidents from Saturday’s game dominating the conversation, head coach Kelly chose not to address any related questions during his post-game media interactions. Unfortunately, something else ended up becoming quickly deteriorated, when Kelly was asked about maintaining the focus of LSU’s players with only two games remaining in the season.
If you’re not saying, ‘I’m going to work to be better,’ then we don’t have a place for you. If you want to fight and you want to keep working to get better, we’re going to be alongside you. We are in a rough spot that we have to fight through. We got to do it together… It’s going to point out those who are not fighters.
Brian Kelly told the reporters
In a bid to preserve his streak of ten-win seasons, LSU’s head coach emphazised the commitment to fielding players who are willing to fight and strive for improvement, vowing to continuous improvement.
