re: So if Kelly has not been fired nor suspended..

It’s not the way UCLA, Penn State, Florida, Arkansas or Auburn fire coaches. We look ridiculous.
You are confusing the "looking ridiculous" with the mechanics of how a coach gets hired and fired.
The post that said Kelly should be coaching until the paperwork is finalized is ridiculous.
LSU's management of the situation from a PR situation is also ridiculous.
LSU's hiring of an unseasoned, inexperienced AD in a situation like this is ridiculous.
I don't think LSU can overcome the situation it currently finds itself in.
In a year or two or three, LSU will go out and hire a serious, legitimate Athletic Director and try to become a serious player in college football again.
There's a possibility that LSU hits on this hire. I think it's unlikely. But, that would probably save it from itself.

This is lost on a lot of people.

This may be true, but how someone is fired/terminated is a lot different than how they start the job. Especially when this much money is involved.
If the school is trying to avoid the buyout both parties agreed upon in the contract, they damn well better have everything locked tight when they fire him.
Well, you are changing the subject.
How someone is fired and what and how that happens is spelled out in the contract.
LSU doesn't want to pay this out over time. It wants to pay a lump sum now.
That should be an easy sell to Kelly, as long as both parties are reasonable.

If he was in those meetings that talked about a damaged brand, how would the same exact people be ok with all of this playing out so publicly?
They wouldn't. But, they are much smarter and aren't going to air their dirty laundry for everyone to see.
Imagine how pissed the booster who committed the money to buy out Kelly is. He agreed to it presumably because he has a personal interest in keeping/bringing LSU to the top of the college football landscape.
Within 2 days, the governor poisoned the well needlessly and made this next hire very, very challenging.
He HAS to be thinking, "Why the hell did I pay that money?"

So until that happens… 1-3 should not have.
No offense, but that's just naive.
It's not how coaches are hired at public universities either. They are "hired", "announced", and begin work before the contract situation is finalized.
This isn't new. It's how every coach is hired and fired.

my guess is he's angling for a tv gig which pays far less
His problem is that he's naturally very unlikable.

The time-value of periodic payments will reduce a lump-sum payment, but Kelly's getting more today that he was two days ago.
nah
He'll either get an agreed upon settlement or get paid in full over time.

LSU fans in a nutshell...
Complaining about other people's money being spent...blaming someone because they aren't good enough to overcome some pretty big deficiencies on the team that impact his performance.
They feel personally harmed by this unfortunate reality and would like to make sure the player knows that they are extremely unhappy that they have had to put up with this.

Li don’t think LSU is trying to get out of paying Kelly. They are hoping to pay him a lump sum now.
This is a negotiation. Most petites understand that. M
Now, if LSU tried to invoke a clause that is questionable in an attempt to not pay at all then I do think it could impact the hiring process.
But even then, you’d basically have Kelly being labeled as public enemy with all of his dirty laundry being aired.

He is an ok game manager but he will not push the ball at all. He just refuses to do so, or can't. And you cannot win like that.
I don’t know if it’s a lost cause. I think it’s the next step in development for him. It could happen somewhere else.
Rattler is kind of a rare situation you never see. Due to circumstance, he is a guy that has received a TON of development that didn’t correspond with what he deserved to get.
But seeing Shough quickly and easily get ti that level shows where the Saints should put its investment.
If Shough was a bust, seeing if Rattler could figure it out might make sense.
quote:
I’m reading all these comments about people not feeling sorry for him because he’s a millionaire. I guess I’m a softy, because I do. That dude was all about LSU. Was he overrated? Yeah. Was he lazy during the offseason? Maybe.
I hear mixed reports, but most likely he didn’t prepare like he should have. Bottom line is he’s a kid, not even close to being fully developed mentally yet. When we were that age, none of us would have turned down millions. I don’t fault him.
I fault what this hand-out world has become. It’s ruining people. It would have ruined the majority of us too if we were handed all that money and entitlement. I hate what this world and game has become. So yeah, I feel sorry for him. He’s a heart broken kid and feels like a failure.
Good post.
LSU fans are some of the worst. They are very willing to attack a player for failing to perform. I'm not talking about simple criticism of play. That's fair and to be expected. It goes well beyond that.
Nussmeier hasn't had a good year. I don't enjoy seeing him fail. I hope he gets another shot and can finish the year on a positive note.

All of those times that posters like BigBrod or the like…..would chastise posters (like me) who had the AUDACITY to suggest that Shough had more upside than Rattler……..THIS is what we were talking about.
It's a bit too soon to assume Shough will have the kind of impact today showed.
I will say that Rattler played better than I ever thought he would.
I didn't expect Shough to be able to do what he did today so soon. It shouldn't be ignored. Forget about wins and losses. If he can continue to make plays like he did today, I will be pretty optimistic about him.

I've been a player and student of this game called football for a long time but never have heard of something that I saw last night.
One of MVB's early plays saw the pocket collapse and he bolts upfield for a first down. He slides 2 yards past the line to gain. Officials review and rule him down where they determined his hips were starting to lower??? Shy 1/2 yard from first down! Next play procedure (of course) and we never do get a first.
I take it y'all have seen this before??? That has got to be the worst rule in this game.
Yes. I called it real time.
I can't remember the player but a few years ago the QB pretended to slide and then when the defense pulled up he kept running.
The rule has been this way for a few years. It was the correct call.
On another note, MVB doesn't need to be sliding anyway. He finally gets his chance and made a business decision that cost us a drive.
The obvious difference is the ability/willingness to make plays downfield.
Rattler really struggled doing that. Shough does it with ease.
17 points is nothing to really brag about. But, you can see what an improved OL and a weapon or two might do for this offense. You can actually see an end of the tunnel.
The other real difference is that Shough has accomplished in 2 games what Rattler took 2 years to do.

re: LSU and Brian Kelly are at odds over his contract buyout

Screw it. Continue to pay the monthly installments for the next 6 years and let his new employment mitigate the buyout.
Kelly is stupid not to take a $30M lump sum and remove mitigation. He'll end up with less money in the long run.
His image is ruined. It’s unlikely that he coaches again. He knows it.

That tells me he intends to be retired.
