If he committed infidelity it’s tort. If he was insubordinate, then it’s breach of contract.
Keep matching the right shape to the right hole there, big Lego.

If LSU tries to weasel out of BK’s buyout on account of him not firing an assistant that dog won’t hunt and will cause established coaches to not want the job.

Very unlikely. Sophisticated people negotiate their “for cause” contract sections to include redress, which is the chance to fix non-compliance before suffering consequences. Also, a guy like Kelly probably had complete control over his staff, assuming compensation is approved.
I expect that if Kelly did not have contractual control of his staff, then LSU would have had to formally notify him that he had to fire Sloan, then if he didn’t, they would have to notify him of his failure, under the contract and the consequences, then allow him the stipulated time to redress. Only then could they fire him for cause.

Someone has a thread that says he wanted to fire Sloan but he didn’t want to fire Davis
We don’t know if that’s true. And if it was, I didn’t read it as Woodward protecting Davis. I read it as firing Davis wasn’t enough bc Sloan needed to go. Few people know the truth but the little we do know will be twisted every which way.

Yep. It's possible he's been forced to keep Davis which isn't good. I never understood why Davis was the only remaining holdover.
Ultimate, Kelly isn't negotiating this. Trace Armstrong is his agent and he's negotiating. There has been something going on behind the scenes for a couple of years and it finally blew up. We will never know the real story due to confidentiality agreements associated with buyouts, but it seems Kelly wants out for a reason.

You haven’t read the contract lol

No, it won't.
Nor will any of those moronic rumors be brought up.
He will get it all, unless he takes a lump sum.
The lump sum will likely release him from any "payback" if he gets another coaching job.
Our fan base, like the current state of our "top-tier " university, is embarrassing.

Section 4.A
LSU can terminate Kelly without any payment if he: 1. Engages in willful misconduct that materially harms LSU’s reputation or program.
I stopped reading there.
Not making the college football playoffs in 4 years, play like arse this season could be considered “misconduct that materially harms LSU’s reputation or program.” Especially since we have not seen any improvement week after week.
By not making college football playoffs and not even in the running year after year are harmful to the program and it’s reputation.

As others have pointed out, he had a couple of tough games a year at Notre Dame, here he has 6-7. Maybe he grossly underestimated what it was going to take to win here. Doesn't say much about him if he saw the challenge and bailed. That also doesn't reconcile with his alleged stated desire to coach again. It certainly doesn't seem like something that brings him joy.
but it seems Kelly wants out for a reason.

Kelly wanted out - he was done

Denbrock leaving Kelly is very telling. I know the public story, but it doesn't make sense when you had Nussmeier in the wings. Sloan was an easy hire but not a typical Kelly hire. There are things that have not added up for a couple of years.

Always good to only read one part of a contract and stop when you read something you like.

From today’s perspective, Nuss is damaged goods. But two years ago, he was a hero coming out of the SEC championship and bowl game. Way ahead of JD5 when he arrived. I think Nuss would have thrived under Denbrock. And remember, the run blocking was just as bad under Denbrock although Campbell and Jones were good enough on their own to protect JD5 in the pass. The common denominator is Davis.

LSU isn't paying due to a moral clause infraction. Check out DD Breaux's daughter, his real estate agent. LSU has had this in their back pocket all along.

his contract specifically stated that he was responsible for Hiring and Firing of his staff (pending budget approvals).
period. it was his choice.
so while Woody can still fire him for it, he can't do so "with cause" because Kelly didn't break the contract.
