Everyone is talking BK buyout... What about the rest of the staff?

They are not going to buyout Kelly and his staff of 60 million dollars. Then have to pay another 20 million to fund an nil team the next year lol. This is all talk and won't happen!

Maybe it is. But… other schools unhappy with their head coach, with massive buyouts are seriously considering it.

Almost every coach has the same buyout language. Full guarantee, paid monthly with no lump sum, full offset language and best efforts clauses.

So let’s say you fire Sloan, who makes right at $1 million a year and has 1 year left.

He can definitely go get a QB coach job somewhere, or even a mid major OC job, making $400k to $600k a year. At the very least LSU can argue that he can, and pay the buyout accordingly.

So now you’re only talking about paying Sloan (in this example) around $500k in equal monthly installments for a year, which is chicken feed.

And some of the position coaches will probably find jobs that pay enough to almost cancel out the buyout.

So the staff buyouts are basically meaningless. It’s paying Kelly a net $30 million or so to go away that matters.

It’s about 9.6M Caniacs total.

They should all, including Baker, be fired for cause and being lazy.
