They are quite clearly claiming it is nearly impossible to find another job, which would mitigate the damages.
Why are you so obtuse? Is it intentional?

No, I’m not. It’s not required to negotiate, I never said that or anything like that.
Well, you’ve certainly implied that.

What I’m saying is that both sides want to settle this with terms outside of the contract, and that’s eventually what will happen. Kelly’s team is talking a hell of a lot more, and making many more claims, so their motive and positions are very transparent.
Yes, get the most out of negotiations. That’s what people do.

So you're saying that BKs buyout for leaving for another school was tied to Woody and now hes free to sign with another school without penalty?
Yes. The only problem would be that Kelly may be leaving money on the table. And he would also have to work

Tiger2025 - I believe in God and his son Jesus Christ and because I do I can say this. Brian Kelly can't find a coaching job and that is a tragedy. But he can't find a job because he had no code, he had no honor. And God was watching.

I believe so, but why would he do that with so much money on the table?
If this was his intention or actual possibility, he would have already reached a settlement and be on track to earn more.

Free my boy BK!

If this is true, list the names of the schools that have passed on hiring him. [crickets]

I’m not even sure what your position is, so not sure how you would consider me obtuse. All you said was “that’s not what they are claiming”, and offered no further insight.
quote:

No, I haven’t. I’m explicitly saying that if you want to settle for terms outside the contract, those terms would need to be negotiated. I believe Kelly is implying that is what he wants to do, by pointing out the difficulty in finding a new job and thus abiding by the terms of the contract.
quote:

I’m the one being obtuse?
What is the point that you are making by telling me they aren’t required to negotiate, while also telling me that’s exactly what they are doing?

Kelly is trying to rush the process. But the contract allows LSU to dictate the termination date, which is when the other clauses kick in.
I agree with you.

Not from the rant... from a very reliable source that never misses. And no I won't give it up to lose my info stream

good

See, this is where I disagree. You say Kelly wants to negotiate but from everything I’ve seen, I don’t think that’s true. I think he wants to collect his buyout.
I agree he wants to collect his buyout, but I also think he wants to get out of his mitigation duties, which are tethered to his buyout.
quote:
And it appears they pivoted, at some point, to using the threat of a retroactive for-cause firing as a “stick” to force that negotiation.
Ok, well this is where our views will diverge. I’ve tried to imply it a few times, but I am fairly confident that his attorneys have not provided the actual timeline and all of the facts around this. I don’t believe this is what made the negotiations break down before he sued.
quote:
If LSU confirmed that he was fired without cause a month ago, all of this goes away.
From LSU’s perspective, they were negotiating the settlement, there was no need to terminate with/without cause, it would be counterproductive to those negotiations and basically make them irrelevant. Then there is a lawsuit asking for affirmation that he was fired without cause, along with other accusations that LSU now has to consider in any further statement.
quote:
This whole fiasco only makes sense if LSU is actually willing to fire him with cause. Which - if true - is something they probably should have initiated way earlier based on the contract terms.
Mostly agree, but it could also be explained by Kelly just not going along with what had been previously discussed. After the lawsuit, why does LSU really need to be in a hurry to do anything?
quote:
I agree with your stance that he probably wants to have his cake and eat it too (collect the buyout without actually searching for a job) but we haven’t even reached the point where that becomes relevant.
I feel like the letter makes it relevant. But I otherwise agree, this should only be an issue if LSU makes it one.
quote:
There’s nothing that says the termination has to be negotiated. LSU could just fire him and move on, enforcing the duty to mitigate provision once that time comes.
Right, but I think this letter is a clear indication that they intend to push back on that duty, and will surely be used if that time comes.

James Franklin got a job and freed Penn State boosters up from all almost all of the buyout money. LSU and that genius governor should just give the man his due. Still BK should be ashamed at the product that LSU puts on the field and the shambles in which he left the program. He shouldn’t take a dime from us.

Has CBK applied for Medicaid?

Medicaid is for indigent.
Medicare is more like it.

In the real world if you are bad at your job you get fired and get replaced.
Then you have a resume that is not too good and it is hard to get hired.
That is the fault of that individual not the employer. Sorry BK this one is on you big boy.

Yeah, it has nothing to do with his quite obvious demonstration of complete ignorance of how to coach a football team. The guy is and has always been a fraud. My ND friends told me that when LSU was kind enough to take him away from ND. Frauds don't change, only a fraud of a football program will not be able to recognize that and hire him at this point.
