Has the head coach in waiting thing ever worked out?
All the hassles of home ownership with none of the equity. What a deak.

When the refinancing boom was around folks were doing the same thing by extending their loans out another 30.

If rates were still low it makes all the sense in the world. If I ger sub 3 percent as I did in 2021 then give me a hundred years and all the cash you will.

n a contractual dispute with issues over black and white terms, and some he-said/she-said that is likely backed up by witnesses and recordings, I don't see this being a multi-million dollar legal fee thing (other than a contingency award).

On second thought, that COULD go in the millions depending on the hourly fee.

Parties are probably best to mediate this quickly unless they really believe they have a slam dunk case. I wonder what the fee arrangement was with Kelly and his attorneys.


LSU should suck it up and write the checks. There is ego behind the LSU actions that needs to be checked.

And firms like Skadden have tons of folks to write tons of motions that LSU will have to pay retained counsel to answer.
Taxpayers will be paying the attorneys.

And Kelly has Stone Pigman and one of the top litigators in the country from Skadden. Guys like that make things expensive from a legal standpoint.

LSU should check their ego, write a check and move on, Anything else not only will nake an inevitable outcome more expensive but may make at least some targets for the job at least consider the suit.

And I do believe LSU should move heaven and earth to settle quickly or they could be on the hook for far more. And drawn out litigation WILL affect who looks at the opening,.

I knew Walsh and Metzinger from Stone Pigman were on the case but co-counsel is who should scare LSU. Robert Fumerton is a legit rockstar in complex litigation. I am not sure how they retained him because he usually handles cases in the billions for Skadden. These guys will ensure that LSU spends several millions dollars if they fight this instead of settling.

Another thing I cannot fathom is why John Carmouche was handling this directly. They should have used other counsel more familiar with contractual issues. More serious is that he was wearing two hats. He should have had other counsel handling the negotiation with the other parties.
Because he is smart enough to let the bidding continue before signing anything? Any attorney who advised him to sign at this point would be guilty of malpractice. The ball is not just in Lane's court right now. He owns the court.

We would be naïve to think that a school would want the police involved.


They do not have a choice and have violated state law as a mandated reporter by not immediately calling authorities and filing a written report. Failure to report can result in jail time.
The words of the school board members show how bizarre we have become.

They spoke as if the 13 year old had beaten the other child down to a bloody pulp with a bat. She hit him once with an open hand and did no damage,

We got in fist fights in school. Maybe a one day suspension so long as we chilled and it was not usual behavior. This child was expelled with no prior issues.

I want to know why the principal, counselor and teachers have not been suspended as the child. They are mandated reporters and should have IMMEDIATELY called the state hotline then issued a written report within five days as it involved child pornography. It was not reported to auhorities until the Superintendent saw the report. They also should face criminal charges under R.S. 14:403(A)(1)..
Did she hit the kid once? And with an open hand?

Folks need to pay attention who they vote onto school boards. Their arrogance is going to cost taxpayers money.
I have made some incredibly bad posts thst I regretted.

After reading this post I feel much better.

Congrats! It's a tough task but you've managed to make the dumbest post in Coaching Changes Board history.


So AI can beat the best chess players in the workd but no ond will ever use them to better a coach?
quote:

It’s already there. I cringe every time I hear an announcer say oh he’s going with the analytics here.


I think we are closer.

I was half serious in the OP as I see some team in the near future letting AI make at least playcalling and game decisons.
quote:

Will this AI coach be on the sidelines coaching players or in the booth?


.I would assume you would have someone manning a device on the field where the decisions were relayed as well as folks entering a lot of in-game data into the AI
When one of the next generation AIs get completed, could a team allow that AI to make every head coaching decision and win?

I guess the biggest issue would be how AI would be fed the information about and evaluate and train players. We often see the mistakes made when just numbers or stats are used to evaluate.

A lot of the Cowboys early success was attributed to their pioneering use of computers.
My hope and prayer is that NY and CAL keep increasing benefits for those who live off the rest so that folks from Louisiana who work the system rather than work will migrate there.
Bear's Great Grandson starts Auburn next year so won't be available for a minute.

Sexton is doing his job as an agent to create leverage for his clients and use that to capitalize on big contracts.


He is the GOAT of coach agents.

Jimmy Sexton is trolling LSU.

Sexton will of course "look" at the Saban offer even though Nick has no intention of coaching. Nick always let Sexton handle that part of his business. Offers like that can end up resulting in reworks for many of Sexton's clients so he wants it out there as much as possible. I would not be surprised if Sexton encouraged LSU to make an offer. Sexton also did not care for Landry's comments and efforts to mitigate the buyout. Even though BK was Trace Armstrong's client he does not want such to take root.

Aside from enjpying his money and his free time in a way I did not think was possible for Nick, he was not happy about the way Kelly, Franklin and others were let go and has no want to follow. And to quickly rebuild LSU into a Saban team would require more hours than he ever put into a season at 74 years old.

A few insisders hear that he did not immediately reject an offer and have made their Viagra unnecessary for a few days. Meanwhille, Sexton and other agents get ready to count higher commissions.
Or he is smarter than many others in terms of happiness and stress Ole Miss will get him close to any offer without the expectations of immediate success those other jobs have..
Sexton and some other agents are about to game LSU.. Sexton is not happy with Landry's words and actions and it will cost :LSU.

Sexton can either make an example of LSU or let momentum build to curb his client's contracts.
