We didnt fire him for that.

We were firing him anyways and we used that to negotiate the buyout

We dont even know if that was the violation tbh, ive heard he had a bad drinking problem

they were filed and later rescinded. maybe Bk didn't want his wife before a jury and media crowd just why that divorce was filed. just a guess.

Would be incredibly dumb to put that out there. Telling the potential new coaches we'll look for a way to not pay you if it goes south and there's an AD/governor power struggle within the search.


Huge buyouts need to go away

So LSU welched on a deal.......prospective candidates are going to love that.

If I were Kelly I'd say, see you in court or arbtration

It's not like LSU can keep it private. They are a public institution and have to be transparent about these contracts.

EVERY party tries their darndest to protect themselves within the T&Cs of these contracts. It's part of the negotiations. Every contract is different.


Has anyone here ever negotiated a contract before?

Kiffin ain’t married. He doesn’t have to worry about any morality clauses involving extramarital relationships.


And if he did worry about a morality clause he could nix or modify it with LSU's agreement before signing. These contracts go back and forth many many times between lawyers before the final is executed.

Kelly welched on his contractual obligations and walked away with 27 million dollars.

Exactly.

It doesn't matter whether it was a violation or not.

LSU lawyers took the position that it was a violation.

BK's lawyers took the initial position that it was not a violation.

LSU's lawyers obviously convinced BK's lawyers that taking a 50% haircut was worth not going through arbitrage to determine the extent of the violation.

Both parties agreed and here we are. LSU is happy and BK is happy.

Enforcing morality clauses b/c the guy allegedly had a girlfriend when MANY LSU head coaches have had girlfriends while married. I don't think this helps us with Kiffin.


If true, it was negotiated with both parties agreeing to the settlement.

Doesn’t seem like he is adverse to the negotiated amount or that LSU is withholding without his consent.

I think this would be an issue if he was disputing. If not, it’s nothing burger and the next coach can choose not to include said morality clause in contract.

When the word goes out that LSU weaseled out of a contract by enforcing bogus morals that's going to eliminate a lot of candidates.....even Kiffin who was known as a walking morals clause violation in years past
