If this is true, then the buyout should certainly not be the full amount.

quote:

I heard that Kelly’s attendance at LSU’s practices had become not altogether regular – as in, he’d be there and then he’d skip out for a while, and then he’d come back. I’d heard Kelly always had a glass of wine on hand when he was in his office.


quote:

I’d heard he was a very frequent patron at a few of Baton Rouge’s best restaurants, which isn’t a particularly bad thing except that he’d be there early and stay late during the season.

"I've heard" from some rando is not going to stand up in court

I feel like we'd have heard that rumor if he wasn't at practices.

I'm calling bs on the drunkard stuff.

If Kelly was out to the late hours in BR, people would've been posting about it like crazy. If your out in public doing that, you aren't hiding it and LSU has too rabid of a fanbase to not jump on that as soon we took a second loss last year or the year before.

Does anyone think this article doesn’t have the ring of truth to it? This has been brewing for a while, and I believe the decision to move on was made well before the game. The performance and effort of the team tells you all you need to know.

Unless you’re reading the contract this is pure speculation about alleged behavior. I can’t believe I’m responding to this.

You can look at and tell he's a drunk

There's a scene in one of the episodes of The Path where he is at home with his dad and a large group for a social gathering. Dude had a whole wall dedicated to wine and I don't remember the full scene but they had a discussion about alcohol. Definitely seems to be a huge part of his life.

What would your claim be?

If true and proven, the claim would be gross misconduct if he were not attending practice like he was hired to do. Also, drinking while on the job is frowned upon in most places; therefore that would fall under firing for cause. Any amount would be better than his 53 million.

So Lane got Sober and Kelly turned into a lush. What a turn of the tables.

Kaare Johnson in New Orleans is reporting they agreed to $20 million based on “morality clause.”

Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. Must be some alcoholics on here that think no one can tell.

I’ve thought Kelly had that look for a while.

A lot of stupid in this thread.
If you look to the Hayride for accurate, even handed news, you deserve the embarrassment which will follow.
I am glad BK is gone. It was a very expensive mistake to give him this contract.
For whatever reason, he seems to have lost the locker room, and he was not ever exactly a warm person who was easy to like.
BUT, there is a whole lot of character assassination going on right now on Kelly.
I'll wait for a couple of weeks and see what credible sources say...

Would not much of this have been reported before now if true?

Seems to me this stuff could not have been kept quiet. The article is full of "i heard...", which reeks of rumor, at best.
