Why is it always doom and gloom here? BK has don’t plenty to fire for cause

You can’t assign cause after the fact.

So his affair, drinking problem, skipping out on work, Greg Brooks, etc

If you're correct, it's pretty convenient that those issues only became fire-for-cause issues when Kelly's team started sucking at football.

I assume you have copies of the notice given to stop/cure/mitigate those potential for cause infractions?

1. This board is unstable and anytime posters start getting trolled on the SEC rant they implode.

2. This is a lot of change and a lot of uncertainty. Mentally unstable people don’t handle these kind of things well. Hence the outbursts here.

3. This is unfortunately playing out in public. A lot of what is happening is probably normal in a contract dispute, but because the governor could not keep his mouth shut, unstable people have access to all the inner workings. This is adding to the chaos, confusion, and uncertainty. Which again, mentally unstable people (Tiger Rant) don’t handle well.

You beat me to it. Kelly is intentionally airing this to further drag LSU along his BS trail. Not that LSU is innocent but this will make the situation more indifferent in the long run which might blow over sooner.

In my opinion, if Kelly wouldn't have aired this then LSU could've looked more like the bad guy. Now it looks like LSU is slightly more justified to low ball him.

Kelly verbally said he was willing to negotiate his buyout. He then formally went a different route. LSU verbally agreed to a normal termination of Kelly's contract. They then formally went a different route. Both parties are either innocent or guilty here.

Not really how it works. If negotiations fail, you still have to follow the contract until both parties agree in writing not to in some sort of settlement agreement.

It’s hard to fire Kelly for a cause when you didn’t fire O for cause and you’ve promoted Verge to AD with all his baggage. I’m sure Kelly’s lawyers and have told him dig in and he probably gets every penny.

I don’t but I’m sure LSUs attorneys do. Or they wouldn’t go this route

LOL It is 100% guaranteed if they were actually building a case for a cause firing the timeline would have been different. They fired him and then over time they started to ruminate on the idea of firing him for cause. That plan was simply not in the works prior to the TAMA loss.

There is no effective termination date of the contract yet,

That doesn’t pass the smell test—at all

Aka it looks a whole lot like bad faith.

When you sign a legally binding contract, then you are legally bound to abide by the terms of the contract. It just that simple. Pay the man. Now for future reference, do not enter into a contract you can not afford to break.
