He has a “moral” clause in his contract.


He does but it is not that simple. Firing for cause for behavioral issues involves a process described in his contract. It is pretty std stuff. LSU has to notify him in writing regarding such behaviors and meet with him regarding expectations etc. LSU has to do this in a timely manner and cannot let it just stack up and then hit him with a termination. So the key is if they have been doing this or not. Also LSU would have to prove his behavior is preventing him from executing his duties or financial damage to the institution.

How is “team sucks” not a valid cause.

Part of me wonders if Woodard is hoping by keeping him on the water gets hotter and hotter and eventually O boils over and does something wild like Woody Hayes hitting an opposing player

They did not fire him then, kinda late to fire him now


Even guilty people have rights to do process. LSU has to wait for the investigation to complete, unless they have other concrete evidence they can act on.

1) Title IV
2) 8-8 Record (.500)
3) Co-ed distractions
4) Talking shite to opposing fans then getting his arse whooped.
5) Threat to put a fan in the bottom of the swamp
6) Staff hires; not interviewing candidates
7) No improvement from game to game

Seems to me these coaches that take these big contracts should be held to a standard of winning. That is what they are paid to do.

You go 4-8.....you just get fired. Nothing owed, nothing given. Just 'here is your box"

If he has a morality clause with specific wording that he’s violated, that would be cause. Maybe violating school policies and rules. There’s a multitude of things that can be considered “cause”.



Yes, the actual reasoning for cause isn't the issue. It's him making a big fuss after the firing that we'd have to worry about. He'd get a good chunk of his buyout to avoid that, and to cover the likelihood of him actually winning any lawsuit.

I've heard settlements described like this: what's the likelihood of him winning a judgment against you in court? Whatever that likelihood is, that's what you pay him as a settlement. If you give him a 10% chance, you offer him 10% of his buyout. 50%, you offer him 50% of the buyout, etc.

I'll admit I'm not a lawyer so I'm not sure how realistic that is but it makes sense.
