This was from the coaching board

I can tell you that stuff has been happening in the LSU Football operations building all day.

As of now, no assistants have been let go, but there is a meeting ongoing and from what I've gathered holed up in this room at the LSU football facility are Scott Woodward, Brian Kelly, Austin Thomas and Frank Wilson. Possibly others (possibly legal counsel) but this is what I've been piecing together.

Its not hard to surmise that they are working on an exit strategy for Kelly that's acceptable to both parties.

Do they get it done today or does it take longer?

If it works out, is the likely scenario that he walks away for a lesser buyout and Frank Wilson becomes interim head coach? Stay tuned!

I would think such negotiations go through his agent, not directly with him over the conference table.

No doubt his agent, Trace Armstrong, is on teleconference at the bare minimum.

"... stuff has been happening ..." And we all know what "stuff" is. That's just crazy. Stuff.

That is my thought. You can see his face he is not a happy man.

Frank Wilson is the interim coach, or was at one point, we obviously want to keep Austin Thomas, he may be there to help bring in an interim OC. It is the bye week

Yes. Bye Sylvester. GTFO.(Not a FW fan either, but at least he's been a HC before)

I’ve been saying for months. After playoff elimination he will retire and walk away. He came here to win a ship and has failed epically. Next year is rough because of players leaving and schedule so he’s looking at two more seasons at minimum to win one. Time to walk away.

I mean the new coach will have all of these gone. Who cares about the 4 games remaining as long as BK is gone

Kelly is holding all the cards.
All $53M of them.
You can reprimand and threaten him all you want but expecting Kelly to be subservient and remorse ful and honorable is wishful thinking
I'm sure his agent was dialed in on a conference call

Yea, that’s what I would do. Just retire and walk away with no buyout. NOT
