When Brian Kelly left Notre Dame for LSU, it caught many fans and media members off guard.

One former Notre Dame star who was blindsided by the news was Aaron Taylor, a current CBS Sports analyst.

On Thursday, Taylor joined “McElroy and Cubelic in the Morning” on WJOX and shared his surprise at the news:

“He did what??” Taylor exclaimed. “That’s about how I reacted, man. “My jaw hit the floor. I’d heard some rumblings that he was maybe peeping over the fence, looking at some other jobs. But I honestly thought that might have been USC. … Everybody’s sending messages to everyone else and man, I haven’t seen anything like this ever.”

Will the move to LSU work out for Kelly? We’ll find out soon enough.
