I don't care if the next coach holds practices in North Korea if he wins.

It figures BK would crash out on the way out.

To be fair, although Woodward hired Jimbo at aTm, he had no part in Jimbo’s contract extension

I enjoyed his media availability and thought we was likable. Spoke like a good, professional, and goofy. He also gave local media unprecedented access to practices. Don’t expect that with the next coach


I’ll take a good football team over entertaining press conferences thank you

It’s a risky move to fire BK.

Kelly’s an arse

He is belligerent and egocentric

He’s wildly unpopular

Pretty good chance Kelly was a smug prick in that meeting and Woodward said frick it.


This is exactly what I think happened

If true, he must've been used to Notre Dames standards of just complacency and "football things" to figure out

The sources are really going out on a limb here.

Why because we could lose 5 games a year with the next coach? frick Kelly and his terrible coaching hires and lack of ability to do anything about it!

I'm telling yall, be skeptical. This feels like a media feeding frenzy based on nothing official other than meetings and wishful thinking. There are no insiders here.



Whatever their intent was it’s DONE now.


You can’t go back after all of this

Kelly was probably shocked

Thought we were too stupid to say “accept reduced buyout, or be fired with cause”.

Who knows what the “cause” might be.

Not only that but whatever legacy he thought he had is a goner.

Couldn't do it on his own. Spending $54 million is above Woodward's pay grade.

Scott thought he was dealing with Ed again.


Kelly is way to ego minded to not fight for more

I think the problem is that when Brian Kelly was hired at LSU it was so much guaranteed money that Kelly looked at it as his retirement and he has been retired ever since the day he was hired…I think LSU and other schools need to rethink these absurd contracts and put the emphasis on pay for performance. We need to have contracts that will make coaches wealthy if they win big but not for just showing up and doing press conferences where they say “We need to clean things up…”

That illiterate shrimp boat captain produced the greatest season in lsu football history, perhaps college football history. He deserved his full buyout.
