BATON ROUGE - Reports surfaced on Sunday evening that LSU head football coach Brian Kelly has been fired and the team will be notified in a team meeting around 8:00 p.m. at football operations. Rumors had been swirling all day that the LSU Board of Supervisors in connection with Governor Jeff Landry were working on a plan of separation and negotiations were underway to find a financial figure that worked for both the school and the coach. According to @RossDellenger and @PeteThamel, the conversations surrounding Kelly's $53 million buyout involve Louisiana Governor Jeff Landry, as there is currently no LSU president.

News started leaking just before 3 p.m. on the Rant. I wasn’t even paying attention to the Saints game as the news kept flipping if it was a rumor or if it was happening.

Bye. But $53m is insane and so wrong. Maybe $1m. These sports and entertainment people are paid way too much.

You seem to struggle with the concept of "supply and demand"

By your premise we had a premier football coach?

Seemed to be a mediocre coach who was paid as if he was premier.

Wages do not translate into quality……people should negotiate their salary more.


Guarantee (in general)you some idiots at your work make more than the best worker
