re: The buyout is just under $9.4 Million and decreasing daily...

Wonder if you could fire him with cause.

It says you can fire him for
"Unreasonably refusing or repeatedly failing to perform any duties imposed upon COACH herein (included, but not limited to, those duties and responsibilities set forth in section 3) or failing to perform the same to the best of the COACH's reasonable ability, after written notice to COACH of LSU's reasonable expectation.
**part V of Termination section**

SECTION 3 part A says
"Administering, managing, and leading the Program in a professionally appropriate and competent manner which allows the Team to effectively compete in the football classification generally known as the Power Five, within National Collegiate Athletic Association ("NCAA") play

So if LSU finishes with 4-5 wins total, would that be considered to not be effectively competing?

Can they give him a written notice (this week) of LSU's expectations to win 7 games this year? If he doesn't attain that could it be means to fire him with cause?

I am grasping at straws here--lol
