In this story:

Notre Dame hosted what before the year was expected to be its biggest regular season home game of 2024 as it welcomed Florida State to town.

Florida State has been a massive disappointment this season and Notre Dame made relatively quick work of the Seminoles on Saturday.

Meanwhile, way south on the Bayou, former Notre Dame head coach Brian Kelly was doing what Brian Kelly tends to do in big games.

Getting destroyed.

Alabama routed LSU to the tune of a 42-13 whooping Saturday night. As you would expect, social media was unkind to the former Notre Dame head coach as the Tigers can now officially say good bye to their College Football Playoff hopes.

Below are some of the best reactions on social media to Kelly and LSU's latest loss.

Brian Kelly is Shooting Yourself in the Foot?

People in college sports have held up Scott Woodward as some sort of coach hiring diety but Jimbo Fisher at A&M and Brian Kelly at LSU have been like firing bullets straight into your shoes

A Hard Fact for LSU Faithful to Accept

Two things that are true on Nov. 9...

Marcus Freeman and Notre Dame (8-1) are firmly in the College Football Playoff picture.

Brian Kelly and LSU (6-3) have effectively been eliminated from CFP contention. pic.twitter.com/8CTgHKSeN9

Brian Kelly Realizing It Wasn't Notre Dame's Fault Afterall?

I love how #BrianKelly blamed his inability to win big games on #NotreDame's academic standards hindering his ability to recruit elite athletes.

He's proving at #LSU that he just can't can't win big games anywhere... pic.twitter.com/T4YP1wkfQS

Welcome to the Hot Seat, Brian Kelly

This Loss is on Brian Kelly smh. He should’ve pulled Nuss out the game. He wasn’t playing good. Nick Saban wasn’t afraid to pull JM out the game when they started losing. Then you got the nerve to leave him in the whole game not giving the Team a chance to win smh. Hot Seat!? 🐯
