Mics caught Brian Kelly berating LSU's defending champions after a field goal gaffe against Texas A&M

Even in a field made up almost entirely of Type-A authoritarians, LSU coach Brian Kelly stands out. The Tigers boss was notorious early in the profession for his hot temper and ability to win often.

There is evidence that Kelly has waned a bit over the years, but it was hard to see Saturday night in a close game against Texas A&M — and one particular moment summed up the Kelly experience.

With 4:53 left in the third quarter and LSU scored a field goal from the Aggies' 29-yard line, the Tigers completely botched the snap and turned the ball over on downs. Shortly thereafter, Texas A&M took the lead.

Punter Peyton Todd, the owner, was one of several responsible for the misfire – and Kelly berated him within earshot of ABC's side microphones.

“You have to get out of there and get the damn operation going,” Kelly was heard yelling at Todd.

“Okay, we need to get the operation going. Here we go!” color commentator Kirk Herbstreit repeated as play-by-play announcer Chris Fowler chuckled in the background.

This clearly wasn't her first rodeo with Kelly's antics, nor was it America's first rodeo.
