The article is using innuendo regarding the whole "for cause" thing drummed up by Kelly's team to force a bigger buyout. Kelly's legal team are the only people saying anything regarding "for cause" or LSU isn't admitting they fired him or LSU is trying to get out of paying him!

LSU has NEVER publicly said they aren't paying Kelly his buyout or that they are firing him for cause. This is an accusation by Kelly's legal team. They are using the media to leverage LSU to force a higher lump sum buyout vs accepting a monthly payment (or the lump sum LSU offered already).

Anyone who believes this shite would get steam rolled in business and high leverage situations because they care too much about the controversy and slander that the media vomits for the lemmings to gobble everyday.

Bottom line is that Kelly wants a lump sum vs monthly payments so he can go get another coaching or media job and "double dip" without losing some of his LSU settlement/buyout money. LSU offered $30-33M and Kelly's team countered with an outrageous amount of $43M lump sum and filed a suit to put media and public pressure on LSU to settle.

If they settle for a reasonable amount both sides walk away better in the long run, but Kelly seems to be demanding too much which is forcing LSU to delay and of course allowing the piglets sucking on the media tit to squeal into more catastrophe syndrome.

OMG HOW IS LSU EVER GOING TO RECOVER?!?!?!

The governor has enormous influence of academics and athletics at LSU. The constant meddling leaves a bad look nationally. The state is ranked last or next to last in so many categories yet spends so much time making decisions at LSU.

Head coaches will not put up with that. The only person who would tell everyone to take a hike would be Saban. Can you imagine someone telling Saban who he will hire at offensive line coach or fire?

I would agree! That would be the most positive aspect of hiring Nick Saban.

What other College Power fires Head Coaches, or sets them up to fail, because they are of the wrong Political Party.
Orgeron and the 19 Tigers were the talk of the nation. Everyone was positive, until he took the team to see President Trump.
Its been a Tub of shite since. Basketball and Football.
