Intern falls off your Harley, and you claim you swerved to miss a dog, and crashed…alone.

I was thinking Kelly was Irish…but he’s obviously German

LSUMANINVA•28 months

First thing I noticed. Seriously? We’re gonna post THAT pic on the front page?

KCSunshine•29 months

The money they discuss is all relative. Hiring Mulkey has already paid off in season ticket sales and my guess is T stadium will fill back up"… Anyone notice ND AD didn’t seem bothered so must be issues with admin there. They said Kelley didn’t even ask them to match

Those incentives are absolutely insane.

Except for the academics.

For those wondering, private jet rates go from $2000-$3000 an hour (including dead head flights) that’s another 100-150K a year

Nice work if you can get it!

Who is the blonde in orange?

Orange? You need to adjust your color resolution.

His daughter

It's a lot. But it's not 15 mil/year like some were saying. Still a lot...

I love how a guy making 9 million dollars a year gets a vehicle allowance. I think he'll be able to buy that benz outright.

CrystalPreserves•28 months

he gets an airplane allowance, too

Germans?!?

So basically, if we wins a national championship, his salary becomes 100% guaranteed no matter what happens to him after that. Talk about motivation.

Does he get to use Les Miles old condo to bring coeds back to?

Scott Woodward makes the expectations, goals, and rewards very clear. This is about winning national championships. I wonder how many of the other extensions and new contracts in the past few months have had such bare and clear goals built in. I know there are reward clauses everywhere, but this seems very pointed. Kelly is going to win, get rewarded for it, and we as fans are going to love it!

$2 million buyout after the second year is pretty cheap. I guess BK wanted away to get out on the cheap if he didn't like LSU and another University was chasing him.
