Give Kelly $5M plus $60M NIL. LSU will have to pay Kelly the difference. The rest of it can be NIL. Wonder if Kelly would like some revenge? How would he do?


By all means you do that and show us. One caveat tho you wouldn’t be able to pay him. Per his contract he has to make fair market value mean if he would need to make in the range of what y’all were paying Kiffin. But please hire him

That was the formal offer. The rumored final offer $20M/yr.


Rumor from who? Saban said it yesterday on game day. A coach less LSU team is 10pts higher in the recruiting rankings than OM. That’s why he is coming.

Congratulations.

LSU has to pay Kelly the difference if he finds a lesser paying job in his field. We just have to pay the market for a just-fired SEC coach. You pay the rest.


He can’t coach for pennies on the dollar. LSU would take him to court and win easily. 5 million a year isn’t market value when Stoops is making 9 and Beamer over 8…..

I hope some team does pay him 5 million, LSU will get the other 5 out of his pocket.

He now has a chance to create a dynasty. It was an easy choice other than the timing and OM on the verge of the playoff.

Lane knows the money spigot is about to be turned off at ole Miss. it’s not sustainable there. Likely knows the offer was bs.

You just blew your wad on a guy who has never won shite. Except beating a shitty LSU program. One that doesn’t pay buyouts. Let’s watch and see if Kelly gets paid off. Bet he doesn’t. You’ll say he had a reasonable chance to get a job at Burger King. Hope Lane gets some money up front. The Children’s charity hospitals are on alert.

Neither did Saban or Miles or O … until they got to LSU.

Whether this pans out in the NIL era is yet to be determined.

But Brian Kelly was a poor fit for LSU and Woodward messed up big time by bringing him, so both had to geaux.

It just goes to show we have deep pockets at Ole Miss.

I hope this just lights an even bigger fire in the program.

It is frustrating no doubt about it but all we can do is keep pushing forward.

Market value for a recently fired SEC coach.., your firing him reduced his market value.

He has wanted to Coach at LSU for a long time. Puts a hole in their "all for the money" spin.

It was never about money.

It is easier to recruit to LSU.

That does not mean Ole Miss cant win big. It means it is easier at LSU.

It isn't the money.

Ole Miss will be fine.
