I don't know if he did anything and frankly I don't care what we pay the guy but I don’t understand some of you. By your logic, since LSU offered Brian Kelly a contract with that buyout, they have to pay it while completely ignoring the fact that he agreed to a morality clause that gives LSU the right to avoid paying if he violates it. So, if that clause exists, shouldn’t LSU be trying to protect its own interests under the same contract terms just like Brian Kelly would if the situation were reversed?
I agree with you but it looks like they didn’t take the actions needed in said contract to do so. Tell the guy what he violated if that’s the way they want to go. You have to give him a chance to rebuttal.

Ok can you point to the language in the contact and how Kelly violated it? Thanks in advance

Not sure anyone at LSU is concerned with a negotiated settlement now that boosters have promised to cover the cost.
Many of the LSU fans on tRant believe this will help offset their amount owed. It won't.
You think Jimbo worked hard to find more work? Kelly may be required to look for work, but he also doesn't have to make changes to his salary requirements. How many programs are going to be knocking at a 65 year old coach's door, now LSU is leaking he was RIP (Retired In Place)?

I was told that BK would take the offer because of a morals clause rumor on this board.
I was also told Saban to L3U was a done deal.

We're talking hypotheticals here. None of us have read the contract and all the morality stuff on here is purely speculative. My only point was that I don't understand the people screaming "just pay the man - you signed the contract".

LSU has not put Kelly's termination in writing with negotiations ongoing, sources said, so it is continuing to pay him in monthly installments.
Sounds like BK is still technically the LSU coach.

See my other post but yeah I'm not arguing for not fulfilling your legal obligations. I'm just saying people seem to be giving Brian Kelly the benefit of the doubt and feel he should fight for everything he's owed while not holding that same perspective about LSU and the folks who are responsible for looking out for the school's interests - financial and otherwise.

Yeah…well…that’s because…well…we hate LSU.

Well If there is one thing we can all find common ground on it's hating Brian Kelly

The contract is publicly available and there are misconduct terms under section 11.
BK contract

Well I’m going to tell you if infidelity happened the first or second year he took the job and they are only pulling that card now to get out of buyout and I’m the judge I tell LsU to kick rocks. It doesn’t become immoral just because he started losing.

Did you even read the terms and conditions stated in the first comment?

So are you saying he violated this clause if it exists? Seems like LSU would have mentioned it. If he didn't...well, you agreed to it. Pay the man.

No doubt. That $54 million couldn’t have been used for anything else. Not for NIL. Not for stadium upgrades. Not on facilities. No. Nothing else. Except paying a coach not to coach.
Sarcasm off.

Yeah, that’s the whole premise. The question is: if you believe BK should fight for every dollar left on his contract (and for the record, I think he absolutely should), why assume LSU shouldn’t look for every possible way not to pay the full amount?
To be clear, I don’t know whether he actually did anything that violates his contract or justifies a “for cause” firing. But there’s been speculation that he may have breached morality clauses, and if that’s true, it makes sense for LSU to pursue the most favorable resolution for the university.
I’m not sure where the idea comes from that LSU can just “choose” to pay or not pay him. Obviously, if they don’t have legal standing, they don’t. We’re just having an academic discussion here as none of us are on either party’s legal team.

Kelly’s camp wants a lump sum and they will get one. It will land at about $37 million and it will be a win for both sides. Deal will be done by the end of the year.

So now that it's not hypothetical ...
