I am shocked. We were told by reliable posters that Kelly would settle. I am befuddled. Shocked and befuddled.

Then write it into the contract.

But also don't be surprised if no top level coach is interested. Competitive field at the top.

It feels like LSU is getting their advice from the Tiger Rant. And then the lawyers are reeling them back in.

How are you going to go from firing the coach, to literally saying you didn’t fire the coach, to publicly trying to fire the coach with cause, AND then, eventually, publicly firing the coach without cause? LSU, what is happening?!

But but but, OM was hanging everything they had on this, that LK wouldn’t come b/c we don’t honor contracts. What are you going to hang your hat on now? Would love to hear about it.

Don’t forget Kiffin’s staff + portal players and retaining current players.

you don't see the big picture.


Maybe YOU don’t.

There’s $53 million PER YEAR coming into LSU Athletics. BK’s MAXIMUM buyout is $53 mill , paid out over the next 6 years.

$9 mil a year buyout, then $$13 mil a year to Kiffin should he come to LSU - equals $22 mil a year.

Not even half the annual $53 million coming in.

This is all with no donor money, no tax dollars, just the TV contract easily pays all this.

THAT’S why coach salaries keep going up - because the money’s there for all SEC schools to spend.

What’s YOUR program doing with THEIR $53 million a year?

Depends if he actually pursues another job. That is part of the stipulation. No, manager at McDonalds doesn't count.
