Woodward was given authority to reassign Brian Kelly inside the athletic department until they got could get all their ducks in a row for this whole ordeal. Woody decided to go rouge and fire BK, however because he did not have permission of the BoS to terminate, he did so without any proper authority. LSU is now claiming that exact fact and saying that BK is officially being fired for cause not the debacle that Woody caused. BK said put up or shut up, so now LSU has proof of burden to fire for cause. Will what they have (no I’m not sharing that publicly) be enough to suffice? We’ll see… but more than likely once all the cards are on the table for both sides they’ll head back to the negotiating table to save some face if I had to bet

According to Tom Mars, who apparently represents a lot of coaches in these cases, no school has ever won the lawsuit when attempting to fire for cause.

I don't know the veracity of the statement, but add Tom Mars to the chorus of laughter pointed in our direction.

His signed contract was for the HC job at LSU. How do you just "reassign BK inside the athletic department"

What does this even mean?

It reads like gibberish.

LSU is fricking stupid. There's no other way to describe it.

LSU fired Wade for cause. Tenner fired Pruitt for cause. Saying you can't fire for cause and not pay the buyout is factually incorrect.

Bob Petrino was successfully fired with cause?

Hugh Freeze? Was going to be fired for cause but they settled?

Why in the world is the Athletic Director not allowed to direct the Athletic Program? If his job is to hire and fire coaches, why doesn’t he have that authority? Why do a bunch of white collar, old men who are placed in their positions by the governor have the authority to make decisions about athletics?

Everyone is freaking out when they have only heard one side of the lawsuit. I feel like LSU has something here, we just don't know about it.

Just maybe LSU is the one being "professional" about their business and BK and his team are the scumbags.

Kelly was fired for performance. Wade and Pruitt were not. They were fired after investigations into conduct.

I thought the Tennessee one was for cause. So Tom Mars is full of shite.

Thank you. (genuinely)
