Point being…if you’re gonna do it, do it. Yes, the contract sucks and Woody should also get canned for that, but $60 million vs $51 million are not that different at the end of the day and it could save us from torpedoing. We just saved $6 million by Underwood going to Michigan. Let’s spin zone this into a positive

I’m not so sure about that. LSU can’t afford to let this program tank. National media is even getting involved

LSU is still paying Coach O over a million dollars. Brian Kelly isn't going anywhere especially after two 10 win seasons. Quit crying

We will owe Kelly and all of his asst. coaches and staff the remainder of their contracts.

If we have 60 million plus in the kitty, Go buy some studs.

Why not spend the money we would need to pay for a buyout on NIL and let the coach with a career .700 record do his thing?

Maybe just use the money on a new offensive coordinator and tell Kelly to keep his crap far away
