Brian Kelly shoots back in the interview “actually incorrect” “Good morning America” ​​- a terrible announcement

There is not much love between Brian Kelly and the national media. But this time, the LSU Tigers chief coach does not respond to messages about him or his team. Instead, he focuses on the conversation that happens to him on the national stage.

Greg Brooks -Senchi and his son Brooks -Jr. have appeared on Good morning America To talk about their constant legal battle with the State University of Louisiana. In the interview, Brooks, Senior, turned directly to Kelly, revealing that neither he nor his son had heard from anyone at the Tigers Coach Staff since October 2023.

“My son almost lost his life, a coach. Where were you? “Said Brooks, Senior, as it is covered by ON3.” Forget about football. Take the phone and say you love the kid, man. “

In September 2023, Brooks, Jr., underwent an emergency surgery to remove a tumor caused by rare brain cancer, meduloblastoma. But things didn’t end there. In October 2024, Brooks, Jr., filed a lawsuit against LSU and his medical center, claiming that he did not manage his medical assistance, which, according to the case, led to many blows and left him constantly disabled.

He is now confronted with daily work therapy to overcome basic skills such as talking, writing and eating.

While the case is waiting for court disputes and Kelly has a lot of love for Brooks Jr., he tried to set the record directly from the side of the story he feels he was not telling.

“Here’s what I can tell you: It is actually wrong to say that I was not there on Greg’s side through this ordeal,” Kelly said. “I was there several times; We had one of my staff who was practically every day. We love Greg. We love him for the man as he is, for the competitor, who is also the warrior who is he. And we can only wish him constant progress as he has been going through an incredibly difficult time. “

But for Kelly, it was important to set the “clear” record.

He wanted to share what had happened regarding his care and his love for Greg -Jr..

“And again I want to be aware that any player who is part of this program will participate in making sure they will get the best care, the best support -and I am part of that,” says Kelly S “It was just extremely important to me. Look, you can ask me as a football trainer; You can ask me about the things we do on the pitch but off the pitch? As a parent, as a husband, as someone who is actively involved in every community in which I participated, the line for me is drawn up here.

“And this comment struck a nerve with me; Hit my heart. Because that’s why I’m not in this business. I am for our players. I will always be in it for our players. And this shook me that someone could be so actually incorrect, saying that I was not part of the care and support of Greg Brooks, Jr. And the support was the whole university and the whole community. So, I had to make sure this record was clear. “

Kelly reiterated that his participation in the care and support of Greg Brooks, Jr., along with the support of the LSU Community, is steadfast since the beginning of the player’s medical crisis.

And he made it clear that any claim to the contrary were actually incorrect and misrepresent the reality of the situation.
