Wait, if Kelly walks away Michigan would pay LSU $2 million for his buyout the LSU would pay Kelly the remaining ~$65 million left on his contract? That makes no sense.



No if Kelly leaves for any job on his own he owes LSU $2M (or the school/NFL program that would hire him)

If we fired Kelly (without cause) we owe 90% of his remaining contract. Which would be about $69M right now. If Kelly won a NC, then we fired him later in same contract, we would owe 100% of remaining contract, or about $76.8M right now.

Kelly came to LSU because of the high bar. He wants a championship and LSU is his best route. Michigan won this year but has had a dismal record in playoff games prior to this. He is building LSU and wants to finish here. He knows LSU is closer to winning another championship than Michigan going forward.
