Kelly isn't stupid. He'll tell them to frick off and write him a check.

Considering his age and the amount of money I don’t see a scenario where he doesn’t force LSU to pay him every cent of that buyout. It’s the most on brand Brian Kelly move ever.

Ya but he’s destroying his legacy more and more with every game he coaches.

What does "including outreach to Kelly about his potential departure" even mean?


"Hey Brian, this is Scott. Do you want to be fired?"

I think Kelly realizes he’s in way over his head and will gladly be done

You don't keep him around if you've decided it's time for him to go. He has all the leverage because of the other motherfricker you need to rid yourself of.

The boosters and admin have numerous cards against him if they wanted to fire him without paying the buyout, with the two main ones being that he killed a kid and cheated on his wife.

What does a kid a Notre Dame dying in an accident have to do with Kelly’s buyout at LSU?
And infidelity is in his contact?

BK is too pompous to believe his legacy has been tarnished

That's not how it works at all. None of that happened at LSU or resulted in damages to LSU, you can't just fire someone with cause for something that happened somewhere else years ago.

The fact that this has more upvotes than downvotes shows how dumb some people are

He could possibly be let go too, I think I remember where his contract is intertwined with Kelly’s.

Maybe but he also may want to coach again and is really supposed to look for work to get the buyout. Also the the buyout is paid over a period of time. I dont think it's crazy to think they could negotiate something both parties could be happy with.
