There needs to be a salary baseline for coaches depending on amount of years coached (HC or Assistant) with a maximum of 5M. The second layer would be a breakout payment based on amount of (wins, conference championships, bowl games and national championships). Last, they should have a deduction in their salary if they don't meet the goals set at the beginning of each season.

So the boosters would know the state would be on the hook and they would not have to pay 53 mill, you think they are gonna say “no, no we got this state of Louisiana . Thanks for offering tho”.

They’re going to do what they’ve always done and pay for LSU’s expenditures on athletics.

What I think will happen is there will be an employment contract with LSU BOS for the 400k base and a separate “additional compensation” contract with TAF in the fire that will have the buyout language. That way the private entity is on the hook for the buyout and the coach still has an enforceable contract in regards the buyout.

So you think it’s going to work how it already works? Brilliant.

The state (taxpayers) are only responsible if the TAF shutters, which isn’t happening.

He’s suing his employer for a declaration on his standing with them. His employer is the state.

And why is BK negotiating with SW and LSU if he has a buyout contract with TAF? If he does then what is all this issue about then?

And who is gonna pay it? Let’s say the boosters refuse and so does TAF? The state right? So see the original post and let me know how a judgement would be paid is not thru appropriations.

Nice postulate there. Now it’s just a matter of convincing a judge. Civil suits don’t always have a jury.

The “additional compensation” and total terms of payment are in the contract with the LSU BOS, not TAF. LSU and TAF may have an agreement but does BK and TAF have a legal agreement?

It was the opposite - The plan all along was for Kelly to get himself fired, agree to a negotiate so it wouldn't be for cause, and then claim the cure period had expired without notice, which would mean he must be terminated without cause and owed his money.

quote:

If he wins, then the state is obligated by the contract to pay, since those are the ONLY 2 parties on the contract


the contract does indicate which funds the variable pay comes from

quote:

BK could realistically end up with nothing.


LSU should say yeah, we told you that yesterday and told you that on the day you were terminated. We also said inn order to mutually mitigate reputational harm, let's be silent on that and get this buyout wrapped up, which will be in the form of your termination notice.

So if the judge sides with BK, how will he get his money from the state? If Boosters/TAF want to pick it up great. But if they see they don’t have to cause legally it is a state issue, then he has to go through appropriations to attempt to get the judges settlement. If I am a big money donor, and see that I don’t have to put up 10 million and BK might not get ANY money of it defaults to the state after what he put us through for the last 3.5 yrs, then I’m taking that route 10/10 times.

Really?? So what are the sources of the “additional compensation” that are listed in his contract? Please list them in your next message.

Well I suppose I misspoke, sorry. It says it may be paid from "affiliated foundation funds" which I took to mean from TAF, which would be only be mandated in a separate contract.
