Hate him or not GOV Landry exposed a problem in the contract.

He stated that there is misinformation out there about the contract and that it is explicitly stated IN THE CONTRACT that if a donor does not step up to pay the buyout that the state of louisiana is on the bill.
I, like the rest of you, lived in a reality where I thought the buyout is just a donor problem.
I agree with him that's an issue. And it sounds like he wants to ENSURE that the state DOESNT have to foot the bill.

There's a way to do this behind the scenes that achieves the exact same goal

But he’s leaving out the part that BK would not have been fired so there would have been no buyout if a donor hadn’t agreed to pay it.

Paying $50Mil from the state is not a big fricking deal.
Add it to my property taxes and take off funding the public library system and I’ll be happy

This right fricking here. If anyone thinks that Scotty would of canned that Mfer without assurances of a buyout??? I got some ocean front property in Arizona for you

I understand that too.
But at the same time, I learned something new that I previously thought to be false about how this works.
As soon as the state becomes a guarantor on an 8 figure contract, it has become political, not because Landry wanted it to be.
It sounds like he's saying... "Don't put the state in that situation again" and he's right.

For a fricking football coach?

BK would not have been fired without a donor picking up the tab

quote:A donor will always step up. Or we'll just not fire him/pay the buyout. Kelly would still be the coach if there wasn't a donor.
that if a donor does not step up to pay the buyout that the state of louisiana is on the bill.

Back in the day the State ‘subsidized’ the Saints as a way for them to remain in NO. Didn’t the State rent office space in the buildings owned next to the Fome.

Well, the State is getting screwed based on the on-field product

So we would have had to keep sucking until his contract was up?
What would that have done for the program and the hundreds of businesses that rely on LSU football being successful?

DING DING DING
There were reports before the A&M game that this was confirmed. Landry's actions are moronic and politards are too dumb to see it.

The big positive to me about his comments, really the only positive, was calling out the fact that Woodward and Kelly have the same agent. Seems like a conflict of interest in my opinion.

Whoever that donor was, I heard it was Shaq, but none the less, don't expect them to keep paying these ridiculous buyouts for winning coaches every few years just so you morons can get a new "exciting" coach that's probably not as good as the prior one. BK didn't need to be fired and paying him 50 million to walk away for winning 8,9,10 per year is the dumbest thing I've ever heard of. LSU is a 8-4 to 9-3 program. Quit thinking you're better . Landry is saying don't expect the state to pay for this shite in the future just b/c you lost to the AGGIES
