Then why wasn't he coaching the team at Alabama? Why isn't he leading this team right now?

Because he was fired now LSU is bactracking trying to get out of paying him what Woody negotiated and what the university approved

I mean if Woody told him he was going to be fired at the end of the season instead of that day, and Brian Kelly just straight up left the next day instead of finishing the season, that would be the only thing that would make any of this make sense. But something tells me woody wasn’t smart enough to word it like that.

Why would he word it like that if he was firing him immediately? Woody has fired multiple coaches at LSU and A&M before this and never had anything that looked like this crapstorm. You can blame Woody for hiring BK, but anyone trying to lay how this now looks at his feet is assinine.

Has Woody fired any coach he was responsible for hiring? He wasn’t a part of the Texas A&M firing process with Jimbo. At Washington Sarkisian left on his own accord to coach USC. Peterson was a good hire. On paper, Brian Kelly seemed like a good hire but with reports of meddling by Scott Woodward we will never know. I could see why Kelly would have checked out if it’s true that Woodward saddled him with certain coaches he didn’t want.

Not before now, but I don't see how that has much bearing on him professionally handling things.

He was a good hire at the time, he failed to meet expectations.

Those are not very credible reports, and I never heard any of that until after all the drama. It seems to be something being floated out there by folks with an agenda.

He is a man that really thinks outside the box.

We need that during these times.

if he wasn't, and our unguided boys would have found a way to win last Saturday, LSU would have owed dick breath Kelly an extra $500k

He was effectively terminated, negotiations around the termination were ongoing until the suit was filed. It now must be determined whether LSU entering negotiations, rather than providing written notice of termination defaults to a termination without cause.

Brilliant strategy... Have someone without authority "fire" the coach. He doesn't show up for the next game, and the university claims job abandonment as the "for cause" reason he's fired without a buyout...

Question for lawyers on the board…

In the termination section of the contract, it doesn’t look like there is a time defined as to when the written notice must be provided. The other provisions of the reasons define 7 days from written notice but the notice itself doesn’t have a time.

Is LSU posturing that they will continue to honor this agreement until they send written notice? Even by stripping all duties outlined in the contract?

If that were the case, you do not hold press conferences announcing the termination until after you dotted the i(s) and crossed the t(s) and followed the prescribed protocols. Elected officials do not grandstand and stupidly shoot off their mouths.

It seems like I am watching a very bad sit-com. Which leads me to wonder, what is the next utterly ridiculous and asinine situation to be conjured up by this group of good ol' boys.

That's basically what I think

That's what makes it messy. He is most likely legally terminated, but in a suspended status contract-wise - the termination notice has been delayed because of the negotiation on the buyout, and likely the LSU president transition.

Kelly is asking for his employment status, while also asserting their time to give notice it was with cause has expired, and suggesting never notified him or gave any other indication previously.
