This hasn't ever happened at AU fwiw
there is an historical precedent for LSU stealing an HC from Auburn

LSU FOOTBALL is the best job, and you know damn well it is. You are bringing up all sorts of crap that whether true or not will not be on the mind of a coach wanting to win a national championship.
you should have no trouble getting whomever is your top choice then, amirite

Already talked to 7 or 8. Plans to talk to 15 and the hire may drag on until after the playoffs.

quote:this is all wishful thinking
Some AD at some Power 4 school looking to make his boosters happy will hire him. He is still Brian Kelly. He is still the winningest coach in Notre Dame history. They will all tell themselves that LSU is dysfunctional and none of the issues were his fault. They will get him for a reduced rate because LSU will be floating the rest of the salary. It will be more than $500k a year, but not $10 million a year. I'd guess in the 4-5 range which BK would gladly accept to keep making LSU pay if this split keeps getting nastier.
you forget that all BK has to do to fulfill his contractual agreement is to seek employment
its entirely contingent upon someone desperate enough to offer him a job, and i simply don’t see that happening based on his miserable failure at LSU

i would hope that whatever terms we come to, the days of overcommitting on the buyout side are over
Stoops at OU’s contract had retention bonuses, which always made more sense than these guaranteed deals

quote:which gives BK and his legal counsel an additional $85k a month incentive to drag the process out as long as possible - not to mention the other non-salary perks of the position, which i assume he is entitled to for as long he is still considered an employee
As long as he is being paid his normal salary and no separation documents have been signed he is still an employee. Your duties as head coach may have been removed but in labor law that is not the same as employee termination.

Why the heck would you "just pay him the full amount" when a negotiated lump sum is the best solution for both parties?
BK is guaranteed $8.1 million a year for the next 6 years, no matter what kind of HC/media gig he gets
i dont see where a lump sum is of any significant benefit to him, unless he has major health issues and wants to spend it all while he’s in good enough shape to enjoy it
his wife may be the one wanting him to hold out for the entire buyout

quote:but would they hire him?
. I dont think he will take a job that isnt Power 4.
on top of everything else thats been said about him, he’s now being portrayed as being hostile in his relations with his employer - plus he’s 64 years old and is unlikely to stick around for more than another 4-5 years at most
i still contend the best he can do will be well under 7 figures, which means LSU wont enjoy much relief due to the mitigation clause
which maybe why they’re attempting this “we never fired him” gambit

quote:while it may have been only slightly exaggerated, given all that has transpired since, i ask the following questions:
LSU Rant: BK was lazy, unlikable, unpopular with boosters, despised by his players, adulterous, and an abject failure as a coach
also LSU Rant: a P4 school will hire him immediately for $5 million a year so we won’t have to pay most of his buyout
what type of school do you think would hire Brian Kelly as their HC?
what kind of salary do you think they would be willing to pay him?
i believe the best he could get would be some lower G6 like Kent State, or
more likely an FCS school, at a salary in the $300–500k range
which means LSU would still be on the hook for the other $7.5 million a year til the original contract expires

quote:i said at the time that Meathead Harsin had the best resume as an HC that AU had ever hired - multiple conference championships, major bowl wins, top 25 final poll appearances (albeit all at the G5 level having inherited a successful season program)
Dillingham and Lashlee would both be WELL ABOVE the usual caliber that Auburn hires as HC.
both Lashlee and Dilly have accomplished as much or more at the P4 level
