Not contractually which is all that matters here. Until the contract itself is terminated, key fob or no key fob is irrelevant.
Clown shite.

Kelly verbally said he was willing to negotiate his buyout. He then formally went a different route.
You are confused. Negotiating a buyout and firing for cause are two separate things.

Would you have a problem with any of those things if LSU was 9-0 right now?

It’s hard to fire Kelly for a cause when you didn’t fire O for cause and you’ve promoted Verge to AD with all his baggage. I’m sure Kelly’s lawyers and have told him dig in and he probably gets every penny.
Kelly’s attorneys are going to tear LSU a new a-hole on this point alone.
But they won’t need to. You can’t go back and fire for cause after the initial firing for performance.

LSU has the duty to inform Kelly 7 days prior to the effective termination date in the case of for cause termination. There is no effective termination date of the contract yet, so how can it be after the fact?
I believe that is what this whole suit is about. LSU is delaying his formal termination so they can search for cause when in reality they should have already terminated him.

Going in the direction of "cause", even assuming it was not time-barred by the terms of the contract itself, is a 3-5 year debate in court.
This will be settled based on the time-value of money: lump sum (how much) v. installment payments. Kelly will weigh an offer of a lump sum v. the likelihood of him working in football in the next 4 years in some capacity. Lump sum = no set-off from other jobs.

A hundred million dollar contract and message board geniuses think you can say "yeah he's fired for cause - 'CAUSE we was LOSIN FOOTBALL GAMES"

The amount of stupidity in this thread is staggering. It started with OP and then devolved from there.
Some times I wonder how some of you function in life.

No competent attorney rolls handle the process this way.
Political hacks, will, though.

So, this wouldn't have been an issue if LSU were 9-0 and headed to the playoffs. But now it conveniently is? That would be slimy as hell on LSU's part.

Kelly released statement, I don't think it is after the fact. He was open to reaching a settlement. Now he is forcing LSU to prove it since a settlement couldn't be reached.

Telling a judge that he hasn’t been terminated yet but that it’s actually for cause now is just not going to be a good look. It’s disingenuous and everyone knows it.

2. Even if you could it doesn’t matter, because LSU missed the window to use “cause”
Not if he technically hasn't been fired yet.

Pay the fricking buyout.

What if he was drunk during TAMU game and that’s why he was fired by Woodward.
He sure coached like he was drunk.

Very doubtful they do. As said if BK was 8-1 and still in playoff contention none of this would be coming to light and he’d still be coaching.
He was fired because of the shitshow since Ole Miss culminating in an embarrassing effort against A&M. That is fired for performance not “morality cause”. LSU is bullying him into a reduced buyout by airing dirty laundry; so far it’s not working and a high risk of alienating top candidates.
Play chess with me not checkers.

I’ve got some photos of BK out with DD’s daughter at a concert, would that be enough to invoke the morality clause?!

These events don't equal being fired?
- his boss and others walked into a meeting and told the man he was fired
- Kelly sent an email acknowledging his termination.
- LSU announced his firing
- An interim replacement was named
- A press conference where the Athletic Director and BoS are talking about the committee to hire the replacement
Everyone in the country knows the man was fired, but you think he wasn't "technically" fired and that would hold up in court? I wonder how you people function.
