His pension strategy has come to fruition. What a waste of a hire for LSU's proud program.

I couldn’t agree with you more. After the national championship. LSU is a proud program. I wish that man would have never showed

Nice retirement check for Kelly. He won’t be looking for work.

If nothing else he might like to go to TV which would still help LSU.

This is precisely why BK went to LSU. To get a retirement check.

Can’t blame him. They are stupid enough to continue writing blank checks.

Why look for work with that settlement? LMAO! He’s not going to look.

Should the board of supervisors maintain their position? They agreed to this deal, so should they not be held accountable?

Well, good for him. A deal is a deal.

Lmao what a train wreck led by imbeciles. Hahaha

He got his money, but it cost him his reputation and pride, if he even has any. He will be remembered as a failed coach. If you can't win at LSU, you're a failure and CBK is a failure. A rich failure.

Jesus. I can’t believe I accidentally hit the upvote button. This might be one of the stupidest comments I’ve ever read. Was he, or was he not, the head coach of one of the greatest teams of all time? It may have gone downhill quickly, but he still gets credit for what he was able to accomplish. BK can’t even hold Os jockstrap.

Check out his record…he actually won quite a bit at LSU. He just didn’t get us to the playoffs and the fans got impatient. Our impatience cost us $54MM.

Honestly, this shite and the rumored 90 million to Kiffin, who I now hope turns down LSU, is just sickening. This game is just not worth this much greed. frick college football if it has come to this.
