Wait, he was in the meeting? And he is saying out loud that he was not fired for cause? Its just keeps getting worser.

There are 2 meetings that are being talked about.

1. The meeting at LSU with AD staff and BK. BK says it was Woody, Verge, Austin, and another deputy director (Cromer, I believe)

2. The meeting at the Gov's Mansion with boosters and apparently a ton of Attorneys. Gordan was at this meeting. He has stated that.

Apparently they’re still paying him? I don’t even know wtf is going on anymore. And I’m starting to not care.

I believe his contract is written to where the buyout doesn't have to be one lump sum 60 days after termination or however they normally do it. As i understand it, his is written to where they could just keep paying him as they have been for the length of the contract.

Nobody feels bad for BK. He was disliked at ND. It will cause more people to dislike LSU though.

Sometimes there are no good guys in disputes. Sometimes there are no bad guy, either. This is the former.

Why is he still being paid then?

Do you mean why is he being paid $800k per month as he was before the TAMu game?

LSU: "Wait, hold up. He was actually fired for... um... cheating on his wife. Or something."

Brian Kelly's lawyers: "Ah. Ok. Scratch that. We don't want $53M anymore. We want $100M for defamation."

The weirder thing is this whole "You weren't technically fired" thing. According to BK's suit, Verge was in the termination meeting and Woodward said he was fired without cause. Verge would know the truth.

Is Verge the kind of man that would lie to help LSU? Is that why he was moved into the role so quickly?

He was also in those meeting at the Gov's mansion. The Brand is essentially why they are saying the move was made. 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?

This is 100% Landry too.

When they all met at the Governor's residence the sunday they fired BK, there were a ton of Attorney's there. They said Woodward didn't have the authority to fire him. When he was probably told to do so.

I also don't think they are trying to win, I think they are trying to push it until he gets another job.

Who is he filing against? LSU(the State) or TAF?
Who pays the bill?

He's suit is pay the agreement. So it would be whoever we thought was paying it before he filed the suit.

They are just trying to drag this out until he gets another job and pay the difference.

Les' suit was more about his ego and had nothing to do with his termination.

This is true. I think "cause" would specific in his contract. Underperforming isn't on there apparently.

It’s a good question and it isn’t a great look at all.

Well, he'd have to agree to take less or be fired for cause. If he's fired for cause, I think they had to notify him and give him time to respond. I get that people think its a bad look but its also bad if you agree to $100M job to coach and then half arse it. Its both ways and adults understand that cause is cause and should be clearly defined. If they tried to fire for cause, I'm sure BK would take it to court and it would be public info on the nature of the cause. Unless BK settles all of the sudden.
