We pay these frickers too much money for that bullshite.
Agreed. Their pay, plus staffs, plus NIL is unsustainable at current market rates.
Going to be hard to get a buzz at a game with $30 beers, or even attend at $500 nosebleed tkt rates.
Eta: it would be interesting to see a shift to base pay paid on games coached at a much lower rate with a bigger incentive bonus tied to Ws (conference and OOC at seperate rates), then CCGs, playoffs and or bowl wins to get you into the 10 million+ per year area

LSU coming up short to meet contractual requirements? Well I could have never seen this one coming.
That is not what is happening.
Since you’re trolling about our cancellation in the 90s:
Texas A&M AGREED AND ACCEPTED the amount LSU paid for the cancelled contract.
It’s been 30 fricking years dude

I don't have a dog in the fight but if the university is not going to honor the contract they wrote and signed, why even have a contract? Honor the contract!!
LSU is honoring the contract.
This is just a negotiation tactic by Kelly’s lawyers.

There is nothing to negotiate if the contract was being followed. It is a contract.

Then you’ll pay his estate and lawyers too.

Financially, there's a middle ground that is the best option for both parties. Probably around $35-$40 mil.
Explain how it is in Brian Kelly’s best interest to give the employer who just fired him $15-20 million.

They are negotiating a lump sum. There is nothing in the article that states LSU is breaching the contract, nor are Kelly’s attorneys accusing LSU of breaching.
It was confirmed through FOIA request initially Kelly told LSU the day he was fired that he was open to negotiating a lower buyout. Apparently he changed his mind, which he has the right to do. That is why he rejected 2 settlement offers.

He won't. You don't get to be at his level of coaching by being a fool. LSU will be forced to pay his contract, or they can pay his contract plus some massive legal fees.
The man is gonna get his money even if the court has to garnish from LSU ticket sales.

some of yall dont seem to understand...if he gets another job, the buyout is reduced by any new salary he gets
so it is in BKs best interest to either
1) not work and continue to get paid
2) take the lump sum and go find a new job
nothing in the contract says we have to pay him in a certain amount of time. it just says its guaranteed which we are going to continue to pay the salary.
they will just pay it until he finds a new job then offer a settlement.
whole thing is fricking stupid from both sides to be honest.

Jesus Christ that is not what is happening. Kelly is still collecting a check from LSU.
Do you have alternative facts that differ from the reported facts:
1. LSU tried to lowball him.
2. As a result, Kelly had to demand the full payment with a deadline.

It’s hilarious this board spent 4 years crucifying Brian Kelly, all of a sudden everyone on this board wants to be his legal counsel

Sounds like A&M wasn’t interested in a court battle over it at the time. Doesn’t mean that opinions were not formed about it.

Part of LSU firing Kelly meant that the program would have to pay his buyout, which is about $54 million. However, a letter from Kelly to Woodward and the team’s administrators obtained by WAFB9 indicated that Kelly is open to a settlement.

Sounds like you should blame Texas A&M instead of bitching about LSU on a message board 30 years later

Ok. I’ve got breaking news for you:
Kelly is not open to a settlement.
He has already rejected 2 settlement offers. Maybe that letter can be better used to line the chicken coop.

No. It seems like LSU relies on people eventually getting tired of their shite.
