LSUs stance is fricking retarded. They fired him, now trying to back track so they can fire him with cause because he wouldn't take a reduced buyout.
Everyone sees right through it.
State run by lawyers
Still can't read a contract

Any objective person can agree LSU is a dumpster fire right now. Not quite Brit Brit doing dance videos with knives, but we are definitely the wild card uncle at Thanksgiving doing bumps in the bathroom then talking to the kids about alien invasions, dissing g-maw about her room temp punch.
We’ll snap out of it.

He wasn’t actually fired because Woodward didn’t have the authority, and he didn’t show up for work for two weeks or the Bama game = cause. BOOM, checkmate motherfricker!
- LSU’s lawyers probably
What a shite show.

Yes. I encourage LSU to follow the Penn State model.

Not only a mess, but if BK wanted to be a huge dick he could technically be on the sidelines Saturday as the HC.
A few important things to note. BK is still receiving his salary payments. BK was also informed he was being relieved of his duties as the Head Coach but he was not being "officially terminated." Which is why they continued to pay his salary until they could reach a settlement. He refused so now last Wednesday or Thursday he was being informed of their intent to fire him for cause since he wasn't officially "fired." Therefore no he could not be a dick and be on the sidelines he was removed from his duties and he no longer has any access.
Its a mess and quite frankly I do not blame Kelly for wanting his full buyout but for someone who cheated on his wife you would think he would be more willing to negotiate a fair settlement that would give him a LS payment upfront that he would not have to give back depending on his future employment opportunities. But hey $53 mil is $53 mil.

Especially elite coaches. The only angle that makes sense is key boosters committed $30M to buyout and we have a ways to go the get the full $54M.
That said, LSU nor BK wans a shitshow with the realtor, BKs wife and female staffers testifying so hopefully they get an agreement and very soon. The university is in real peril.

LSU could fire Kelly for cause based on his recruiting videos.

I haven’t read his contract but someone said infidelity isn’t one of the reasons they can fire for cause. His wife has 53 million reasons not to care if his alleged numerous affairs come to light. She’ll probably stay until he gets all of his money then take half and go.

He believed he was fired by then AD Scott Woodward. No independent body is going to say he wasn't terminated under those circumstances. The Governor only said that he wouldn't make the next coaching hire.
He should have been told then that he was being fired for cause, and the reason for cause under the contract should have been provided.

LSU was contractually obligated to give Kelly seven days to respond to a release “for cause”, but LSU has also made attempts at settlement. At this point I’m not sure how they argue their way out of the fact that Kelly was fired as they announced it, replaced him, fired their AD over it and have not once until now made any attempt at any other narrative except that he was “fired”.
Also, LSU cannot use the rumors of an affair as a means to deny the buyout. It is legally irrelevant under the contract.

LSU is going to use one of those heat of the moment arguments that reduces murder down to like manslaughter.

Should've got his arse for cause a long time ago.

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.
This is legal posturing for separation settlement.
Being an employee without a contract you fall under company policy. Being an employee with a contract means you must abide by policy AND your contract. Those items may not be separated unless you are a 1099 contractor.

The Twitter account called it “a change in program leadership” or something like that.
It’s all legalese and I think LSU technically is would win that side of things.
I don’t know if they would win on the cause side of things though.
But now with Kelly going to the mattresses I kind of hope we try. Might as well.
