And I don’t believe you. I think that Brian Kelly has more experience with the law than you do.

Brian Kelly Deposed in LSU Sexual Harassment Suit

Firmer Notre Dame Player Sues Brian Kelly and University

Brian Kelly Named in Lawsuit by Greg Brooks, Jr.

quote:
Former LSU football linebacker Greg Brooks has filed a lawsuit against his former school and Baton Rouge-located hospital Our Lady of the Lake Regional Medical Center, claiming negligence, Yahoo Sports reports. The dispute filed in East Baton Rouge Parish court dated in August, accuses the LSU coaching staff, athletic trainers of misdiagnosing him prior to his emergency surgery last September at Our Lady of the Lake. In the filing, Brooks claims that the surgery, performed by Brandon Gaynor, has left him "permanently disabled" and he contends with "catastrophic neurological injuries" that include not being able to walk, lack of function in his right hand and "considerable difficulty speaking."

Brooks' lawsuit also names LSU head coach Brian Kelly, former safeties coach Kerry Cooks, former defensive coordinator Matt House as well as LSU head athletic trainer Owen Stanley and team doctors Vincent Shaw and Stephen Etherdge.

No, I believe that Brian Kelly has spent more time in lawyer’s offices than you have.

For the record, I think Brian Kelly is the perfect coach for LSU.

Yes, those names do appear in the lawsuit. They’re just not named as defendants. Any judgments issued would not be levied against them. This isn’t a hard concept. But please keep digging in.

I think one thing we can all agree on is that LSU is getting lots of publicity from this lawsuit.

Since you are a lawyer, whatever happened with that sexual harassment suit that Kelly was deposed in? I think that one involved an assistant coach. Was it separate from the one involving Les Miles? Or were they related? And how did that tie in with the lawsuit/s surrounding apparent serial rapist Derrius Guice?

It is a lot of keep up with, but a good lawyer should know.

A good lawyer should know what is going on with every lawsuit?

But since you asked…

Iirc the Miles lawsuit was dismissed and he was awarded his attorney fees. I believe the Guice lawsuit settled out of Court.

This lawsuit does not exist. Care to provide a link?

This suit was dismissed as well.

He’s conflating things. The sexual harassment lawsuit was the Title XI lawsuit involving Guice. That case settled.

The other was a wrongful termination suit filed by former recruiting director Sharon Lewis. That involved allegations against Miles, Frank Wilson, and Verge Ausberry. Kelly testified in that. Kelly had nothing to do with it except was there when she was fired. That lawsuit was dismissed by a jury.

LSU Coach Brian Kelly Testifies in Sexual Harassment Lawsuit Involving Fired LSU Assistant AD

quote:
December 21,2023 BATON ROUGE, La.

While every other major college football coach in the country made final preparations and plans the day before one of the biggest days of the year (national signing day Wednesday), LSU coach Brian Kelly found himself in a federal courtroom on Tuesday.

"I'd rather be coaching football, but I understand the importance of this," Kelly said to an attorney representing fired associate athletic director for recruiting Sharon Lewis.

On his first day, he learned firsthand of a frequently used phrase in these parts - "Only at LSU."

Lewis filed a $50 million lawsuit against LSU on April 8, 2021. She claimed LSU's football office was a hostile, sexualized environment in which herself and student female employees were routinely harassed and hit upon. Lewis reported some of this to her superiors, but they did not properly report the harassment and sexual misconduct claims to LSU's Title IX administrators, she claims.

LSU fired Lewis in January of 2022 shortly after Kelly became coach in what Lewis claims is "retaliation." Who fired her remains somewhat of a mystery. Athletic director Scott Woodward testified last week that Kelly fired her, and Woodward signed off on it. Kelly testified Tuesday that he "terminated the position," not Lewis, along with approximately 40 other positions he purged in a routine program rebuild. Kelly maintains that Woodward fired Lewis.

Regardless of what exactly happened and who all were involved in this plethora of lawsuits over the past 5 years, I think we can all agree that LSU sounds like a wonderful place.

If you really are a lawyer in Baton Rouge then you have to be doing really well. Seven figures annually just off of the lawsuits LSU is involved in. Maybe eight. What are you doing slumming around this place?

Did this sound clever to you in your head?

Nice pivot you’ve made here though

You counted? That is awesome. Add one more.

You boys lashed the houseboats together tighter than normal in this thread. But any time I find myself on the opposite side of SidewalkTiger and Hold da Mayo I know that I am on the side of right. It is surprising so many of you came out your bilges to fight with them.

You've been wrong so many times in this thread that I've lost count.

The worst part is you can't even see it.

Aww, thank you. But it isn’t true. The worst part of any thread is you Harry. It is always you. No one will ever be able to take that from you.

What can we be expecting out of Baton Rouge next? An outbreak of monkeypox in the baseball program? Brian Kelly getting LSU president William Tate pregnant? A shocking story of the LSU dining department putting horse semen in the mashed potatoes every week?

I know whatever it is will be shocking and entertaining.
