If LSU wants to drag BK through the mud and air his dirty laundry they could probably get a reduced buyout but it’s a question of if you want to go through that.


lol. No.

Ah yes, I’m sure that will hold up well in the court of law. By your common sense standard, what is the minimum amount of money that BK can make at his next job that will not end in LSU taking him to court?

That’s why you sue. It’s not a stretch to say a coach with 200+ career wins should make more than a coach with a sub .500 record.

You’re just so fricking contrarian on everything, it doesn’t click for you.

There ought to be a clause in all these coaches contracts that prorates the payout based on a winning % and time in postion. After 4 years, if a coach fails to win, why should you pay 100%?

Hey, LSU morons, thats what you get for not immediately taking action when he was found to be fricking someone other than his wife, who i believe was LSU related.


marital infidelity will never trigger a morals clause which BTW does not exist in BK's contract beyond any behavior affecting LSU brand like breaking the law or failure to comply with NCAA.

And it’s not a stretch to say that a long time NFL head coach has a better resume than the guy that had half his wins at Grand Valley State and Central Michigan.

The contract does not allow for any sort of retroactive firing for cause. There is a process outlined in the K for firing for cause, and nothing indicates LSU followed that process.

Why would you hire a coach that does not believe after 4 years they can produce the results needed to meet expectations for an established upper tier program?

I mean of course they all believe it but a coach would be stupid to agree to that when they have offers for other jobs that don’t include that clause.

Fine. Pay him $800K a month and offset that when he works again. He’s got bad advice if he thinks LSU is going to write him a $50 million dollar check. LOL!

Actually the opposite. He’s trying to get LSU’s settlement finalized to help his negotiations with schools.


Huh? Unless that is the worst contract ever written, IF the coach wants to play hardball on the amount to be paid over several years, Kelly would be PROHIBITED from taking another football job. Sssssoooo, as the poster you responded to said, he intends to retire. Otherwise, every contract I've ever heard of says the ONLY way you can coach again while forcing a school to pay out your contract with them is to GIVE up money from the contract.

Woodward said LSU wanted to enter negotiations to pay Kelly a lump-sum payment of $25 million instead of the full buyout. LSU offered “one or more accelerated payments,” documents say, and the elimination of mitigation or offset language should Kelly get another job in football.
There were people on this site that day reporting this. Anyone who thinks people on this site don’t have sauces is lying to themselves.
