Surely they realize this, but I guess they're too stupid to care.
We'll be lucky to get a CUSA level coach once this is all said and done.
The second that Landry got involved, we were screwed.
I think it might be time to take a break from LSU football for a while. I'll still watch other sports until such time that LSU manages to frick those up too.

Notice of termination was required either way.
The contract called for a 7 day notice if there was intent to fire for cause. There was no requirement to give prior notification of intent to terminate without cause. You don't tell a coach that he's going to be fired after his next game.

As far as we know, Kelly is getting paid and has been given a fair settlement offer.
Unfortunately, Kelly doesn't need to accept anything other than what was agreed to in the contract. Now, he may accept less as a lump sum with no offset verbiage, but offering half while threatening to find "cause" after the fact is a bold strategy indeed.

Also using this as a tactic to force BK to settle.
The issue is that there is no cause and no secret dirt that would actually provide leverage.
The man is 64. Had a rough spot with his wife and they got over it: no one cares. He coached well, just not to expectations. He was a known red faced, yelling a-hole before he was hired.
He is owed 54 million dollars. Very little they could release to provide enough"motivation" to truly affect him.
He is old enough to not have to work or coach again. He can just tune out social media.
All LSU is doing is setting themselves up for more liability in a larger lawsuit, which may be the plan to get insurance to cover/offset the expense.
Just pay the man.

They're playing semantics with words. Separation with the head football coach probably means fired to 99.9% of all people with half a brain, including judges.
that’s roughly 90% of lawyer’s jobs. Brian Kelly was relieved of his job duties but still maintained his paycheck, maintained other monetary perks, etc.
Despite him being “fired”, was his employment contract officially terminated? We don’t know that.

Going from team vote to self-coached. It may work out.

Remember when it was said that Landry didn't like rewarding mediocrity. Sounds to me like he's not wanting LSU to fit the bill for this one even though they have the ability to do so. Maybe just negotiate how he will receive the money but just give him the damn money and move on.
Remember that it was the BOS who approved this contract. If they had issue with the buyout, they never should've accepted it. You just don't assume everything will work out and go on about your business. You hope things work out, but protect yourself financially just in case it doesn't. At this point, honor the contract and move on. But simply the fact of calling him bluff and allowing the suit to go through is crazy. Just simply allowing this makes LSU and the athletic dept look really bad yet again.
It could be that Landry doesn't think he's doing anything wrong, but again the optics look bad because well we can't get out of our own way.

Let us know when you get your hands on it sooner. Can’t wait to read it. Thanks!

LSU has killed its chances of hiring a “skins on the wall” coach.

LSU has already offered $30M and to waive duty to mitigate, after Kelly said he is open to negotiating. They seem to be demonstrating more good faith than Kelly.
I’ve read the contract a couple times this morning. Kelly can be fired for cause for refusing to perform the duties assigned by Woodward. He can be fired for taking an unauthorized vacation. Whether this would stick in court or not, who knows, hence the negotiations.
LSU not having a President at the time of the assumed termination, and quick termination of Woodward clouds the picture quite a bit as far as timelines go.

They are claiming he was not given the right to cure.
It says he has a right to cure "to the extent curable" on seven days notice. So it may come down to whether the cause was "curable."

Im not
Im just saying if he is owed 54, get it over with, the world is watching.
If lsu has some bs shite on him that wont stick and it backfires, that will be bad for the future.
Everybody and their momma knows LSU is trying to save some money and nail him on some shite. Make's us look stupid. Everyone wanted him fired cause the team wasnt producing. End of story.

Neither party is blameless here. Kelly has said some very inconsistent things since he was relieved too. That’s why there are courts to decide civil disputes. Let it play out, LSU needs to do a professional, competent, and fair financial proposal, and we will land a quality coach.
