A few weeks ago The Advocate reported on Chavis departure from LSU and noted that aTm had not formally hired Chavis yet because his buyout was not settled. Does anyone know if that has passed?

And I know JC is not coming back and BTW all of LSU's coaches contracts are in place and approved.

I am also curious if aTm put "the clause" in his contract stating that if Sumlin leaves his contract is not guaranteed.

No. In fact, I don't know of any school, other than LSU, who's done this. Either you give assistants a multi-year contract (which is rare), or you don't.

As to LSU's claim against Chavis for the buyout, if that case hinges upon Chavis signing a letter of intent that didn't include all material terms, and ultimately did not result in agreement reduced to a formal contract (particularly where the impasse came on the issue of the contract term), then LSU has a really weak case.

Latest I have heard is that it will be worked out as soon as LSU pays the $400,000 they owe A&M for backing out on games they promised to play a few years ago.

It's all good.
