To make Brian Kelly of all people to be the sympathetic figure in this shite show.

He will find a way to get more than 54 million and people will be okay with it. And he will- he’s that big of an a hole.

This is a case study of how not to let go of a coach.

He will get way less than $54M. Why would you not accept a lump sum payout when you are required to look for work and that new pay offsets the buyout?

Define "look for work".

Because you can accept a new job and be paid next to nothing while your new employer puts that extra cash to other things. Also there are always ways to rewrite the language to benefit your new employer.

Basically lsu is and will pay his full buyout

Pretty self explanatory. Plus multiple sources have said he still wants to coach. He would be ignorant to not accept a lump sum. This is just a tactic to get a one.

Because he wants to coach again, knows y’all tried to fire him and drag his name through the mud so you could get a lower buyout in order to throw more money at the guy you’re trying to hire. Anyone in his position would be rightfully pissed and try to screw over the people who fired them.

It’s the same thing Auburn tried to do with Harsin but they weren’t stupid enough to fire him without actual evidence like LSU apparently did with Kelly.

Brian Kelly may be an a-hole but he’s not stupid

To sit on my big arse boat off of Cabo, fish, and call my agent once a week to ask if he's filled out an application for a job I won't be offered.

If they give him $40 to $45 million and an apology today, this all goes away. Thats what LSU should do. I don’t know that they will though.

I think they are going to make a “for cause” case against him out of the Greg Brooks lawsuit.

Then explain it. Exactly what level of effort does he need to put in to satisfy the terms of the contract? How do we know he's not doing that?

If I'm BK and his lawyers, I think that I could make an equally compelling argument that LSU damaged my ability to obtain meaningfully employment with the things said about me in the recent past.

You sound like he didn’t do the things he was accused of. The university kept most it hush hush. No one was drug through the mud.

If there was evidence then Kelly wouldn’t be suing

You think Kelly filed suit against LSU for breach of contract as a tactic to get them to offer him a lump sum?


Kelly should get every dollar coming to him.

Sounds like LSU is trying to get a libel verdict added to the top of BK's buyout..
