LSU negotiating Brian Kelly’s potential departure

BATON ROUGE, La. (WAFB) - It perhaps seemed like an insurmountable financial task, but it appears LSU might be ready to move on from head football coach Brian Kelly.

Several national sports outlets report, and sources close to the situation tell WAFB-TV Sports that Kelly’s standing with the Tigers took a big turn for the worse following LSU’s 49-25 defeat to No. 3 Texas A&M in Tiger Stadium Saturday evening. Two competitive road losses at Ole Miss and Vanderbilt were one thing, but a national embarrassment and all of the optics that came with it were bad news for Kelly in his fourth season leading the program. An emergency meeting of the university’s higher-ups was held Sunday afternoon to discuss the impending move, sources confirm.

LSU is now in discussions and negotiations to move on from Kelly and the $54 million buyout they would owe him if he were fired. LSU obviously doesn’t want to pay that number in its entirety, hoping for a compromise from Kelly, who just turned 64 years old Saturday.


Fixed it

Kelly’s record at LSU is 34-14 overall with a 19-10 mark in SEC play.

Why would Kelly want to negotiate his buyout down? The man has no shame, he wants his $54,000,000

I read somewhere that if he takes a lesser buyout...he would have incentives like maybe full amount up front, not having it pro-rated if he gets another job...stuff like that

Kelly better shoot for the stars because the only job he can expect in the future is as a high school head coach. $54,000,000 or bust.
