the decision has been made pending formal board approval
The press release seems to be a problem for this narrative.
quote:
BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU Athletics has made the decision to separate with football head coach Brian Kelly effective immediately, Director of Athletics Scott Woodward announced Sunday.
Terms of the separation are still being negotiated.
“When Coach Kelly arrived at LSU four years ago, we had high hopes that he would lead us to multiple SEC and national championships during his time in Baton Rouge,” Woodward said. “Ultimately, the success at the level that LSU demands simply did not materialize, and I made the decision to make a change after last night’s game. I am grateful for the ongoing consultations and support of the LSU Board of Supervisors and Interim President Matt Lee in this decision. We wish Coach Kelly and his family the very best in their future endeavors. We will continue to negotiate his separation and will work toward a path that is better for both parties.”

Then you state that specifically, much like when a cop or teacher is suspended when an investigation is undergoing
LSU fricked up here. Should have waited at the end of the regular season and formally terminate him because despite winning seasons, the trend was going downward. Or there should have been talks with other potential coaches before firing him the way it happened

Woodward was out of his lane of authority,
According to a press release by the university, Woodward was working in consultation with the BOS and interim president at the time.

You are confusing the "looking ridiculous" with the mechanics of how a coach gets hired and fired.
You conveniently skipped over all of the other schools who are not firing their coach the way LSU has. LSU is not even sure if they fired him three weeks later. Point me to a single school who has ever pseudo fired a coach, announced a firing, hired an interim coach, played a game and then claimed they had not yet fired the coach. Nobody does that regardless of your suggestion that this is the way every coach is fired.

That’s because our coach decided to be an a-hole about it.

Kelly is the one saying he is confused, LSU is negotiating the terms of separation.

Kelly is making this claim.

Most people don’t say they are open to negotiations and refuse to negotiate, then sue when the other side is actively negotiating.

I can't help but feel this sky-is-falling disfunction is being fanned and exaggerated by social media and national talking heads and all the melt threads being started here. The truth always lies somewhere in the middle of two sides. Relax. Quit feeding the anti-LSU trolls.

The terms of separation have not been settled. Kelly is trying to frame that as LSU changing the deal, while a deal hasn’t actually been made.

I sure hope you aren't a lawyer. Look at the very first line of the press release. Read it slowly.
Imeediately:
im·me·di·ate·ly
/i'mede?tle/
adverb
1.at once; instantly.
2.without any intervening time or space.

Well, Kelly is claiming that the terms were already negotiated when the contract was signed.

anything, it makes it seem like BK was terminated in a way that violated his contract and puts LSU in a very precarious legal position.
To be frank, I hope BK takes LSU to the wood chipper for handling this entire episode like amateurs rather than officials earning 7 figure salaries.

There is no separation agreement, because it is still being negotiated, but they have agreed that the many term is that they are separated.
What am I missing?

Yes, I understand that. He is wrong, because he hasn't actually been terminated.

The contract doesn’t say he is owed his full compensation no matter what. You have to understand that part first.
No one has said that.
He is owed 90 percent of certain parts, over time, with duty to mitigate.
The duty to mitigate is much like a non-compete… hard to enforce.
So lsu has to prove cause, or has to prove BK is not mitigating.
Easy to understand why LSU wants negotiated lump sum.
BK may be betting that lsu does not have cause and he is not worried about mitigation, maybe smart maybe not.

No he was terminated
Otherwise he’d still be on the field
