Kelly ripped off the state of Louisiana for $100 million, less whatever's the reduced buyout


The State of Louisiana doesn't pay the head coach's salary. That's TAF and donors.

LSU's OP budget revenues are 85% tuition/fees and state/federal funding(via tax/millage sharing). Kelly's salary is part of LSU's budget, otherwise it wouldn't be listed here.

Whatever donations LSU receives goes into that same budget, saying it wasn't paid for by taxpayers is deception

TAF and donors pay most of the salary. Don't know the percentage.

The entire state is emotionally invested, from the governor’s mansion 3 miles from Tiger Stadium to the farthest Gulf Coast towns.
Lazy arse stupid hack writing.

Holly Beach is 142 miles away from Tiger Stadium.

There are places in Louisiana like Natchitoches, Funroe, Shreveport, etc that are further away from TS than that.

So they’re not emotionally invested in their State’s flagship institution?

Hell, part of Plaquemines Parish is further than 142 miles from TS.

Even if you agree with the message it’s just lazy journalism jumping on the bandwagon for clicks.
Quoting Lacy’s dad and not bringing up his mom’s view of BK for instance.
If LSU was undefeated the same article would have been a180 degrees different - it would have been praising BK & his culture.

I really don’t know if was Landry, SW or the BOS but whoever got him out of here thank you. There is NO way he was going to improve this program.

I’m not qualified to pick a new coach but I’ll say this.

If whoever it is does not go back to white jerseys, gold pants, gold helmet I will hate him from that day forward.

You know someone told me some stuff like this
Last week before we played atm it was about the tight end coach that took the Houston Oc job he tried to get Kelly
On the phone and meet with him personally to tell him he was taking that job and he could never get him to meet and so he said f it I’ll send him a text telling him he didn’t want to do it this way! Kelly ended up calling him and cursing him out

They shouldn't have to pay him out due to breach of duty. The guy mailed it in.

Silver lining for LSU is an appearance in the SECC, a Heisman, and winning records while the head coach was largely absent.

Journalists knew this too, but they chose to play along until it was over.
