LSU set to lead off 2024 SEC Media Days in Dallas
BATON ROUGE – LSU head coach Brian Kelly and three Tigers will leadoff 2024 SEC Media Days in Dallas on Monday, July 15, the league office announced on Thursday.
The four-day event, which annually attracts over 1,000 media members, runs from July 15-18 at the Omni in downtown Dallas. It’s the first year for SEC Media Days to be held in Dallas as the league welcomes Texas and Oklahoma to the conference in 2024.
LSU will be joined on the first day of the event by Ole Miss, South Carolina, and Vanderbilt. Time slots, order of appearance, and players representing each school will be announced at a later date.
In two years at LSU, Kelly has led the Tigers to back-to-back 10-win seasons, a berth in the SEC Championship Game and bowl wins over Purdue and Wisconsin. LSU opens the 2024 season against USC in Las Vegas on Sunday, Sept. 1.
Entering Year 3, Kelly feels everyone is more comfortable with the standards and the expectations of his program. In an interview with On3’s J.D. PicKell on The Hard Count, Kelly delved into his Year 3 expectations and vibes.
“Well the standards and the culture feels so much more like what I’m used to,” Kelly said. “But that’s usually what happens in Year 3, for me. Everywhere I’ve been, the third year has been really successful, so I think the third year here is feeling very comfortable in terms of the standards and the expectations and how everybody has really adapted to the style and the expectations.
“Again, you’ve gotta go do it on the field and you do it with being successful on Saturdays. But the day to day really starts to feel like we’re in a really good position.”
