So now he’s not being paid to play golf like he was at LSU.

LSU needs to hire someone to investigate because you better believe there’s some money under the table on this deal.

Seems like a questionable way to get around LSU reducing his buyout between him and Memphis if so.

LSU should pursue this legally if true.

Aint nobody working for free

He doesn’t need to be paid by Memphis because LSU is paying him.

This sounds like more of a phone conversation than a job title…

quote:

Charles Huff is getting all the feedback he can before his first season as Memphis football coach. During spring practice, the Tigers had visitsfrom former Texas coach Charlie Strong and former Florida State and Texas A&M coach Jimbo Fisher.

Huff and his staff have also consulted with former LSU coach Brian Kelly, Huff told The Commercial Appeal on June 8.

Kelly, who is consulting for multiple programs after he was fired by LSU in the middle of the 2025 season, is not part of the Memphis' staff and is not being paid. Huff said he'll start checking in with Kelly more toward the end of the season when Memphis is focused on recruiting and building the 2027 roster in the transfer portal.

That's an odd transition.

Sounds like Huff is a pecker who can’t read a room and surrounds himself with has-beens. If I’m brand new and I want to set bye wheels in motion, I ain’t gonna invite Chuck Strong, Jimbo, and hell no I’m not bringing in paid or unpaid Kelly. I’m sure Beau Pelini, Dave Wannstedt, and Mike Shula have been in touch also.

I’ll never forget. I’ll never forget those refs throwing flags at phantom Pitt linemen who were “holding”.

Who cares, let him consult as long as he's nowhere near LSU

Cant we just perpetually offer him a janitor role at PMAC and he will never have an excuse to not work?

Otherwise go out there and get a good paying job. Im confused.
