Kelly is still being paid his salary. So even though he was "relieved" of his duties as Head Coach he is still being paid therefore employed. Its a legal loophole.
Well that all sounds good but it’s not how employment law actually works. There is no “legal loophole” that gets around the stipulations of the contract. As I stated above:
Wrong.
• Employment contracts (like Kelly’s) end on notice, not paperwork.
• LSU’s public firing + removing duties = constructive termination under LA law.
• No “separation docs” needed for without-cause trigger — contract says “termination”, not “signed release.”
• Kelly’s lawsuit seeks declaratory judgment that firing = without-cause now.

This seems to be a pretty underhanded stance LSU is taking here.
Calling it underhanded is generous.

Having been a contract employee in the state of Louisiana this is not entirely true. Now Kelly was smart in sending his email stating he was terminated before he left but relieving the Coach of his duties does not construct "firing." Being paid the salary is employment and he was informed he was being relieved of his duties and going to continue being paid his salary until they could come to an agreement on the settlement. Leaving them options to pursue if they could not as he was not officially "terminated." But Kelly and his attorney are going to try to prove he was terminated while LSU will be trying to show otherwise.
And again its all moot because it is going to be settled regardless.

And if they continue to pay him the buyout continues to drop.

If handled properly, LSU would have never paid out the $53-54M left on the contract.
LSU was always going to have to pay at least the vast majority of the money
