re: You need evidence to allege "termination for cause" or else it's defamation.

How can you prove defamation against LSU over social media rumors?

Kelly filed suit.
Lawsuit leads to discovery.
Anything incriminating, profit.
Does no one know how lawsuits work?

You realize that trying this play would make any future coaching contract you put in front of a coaching candidate worth less than the price of the paper, right?

If it’s the same contract - yes.

What kind of an agent would allow for that?

Those “loopholes” have been exposed.

I can’t see them being in future contracts.

Rich old white guy in the 19th JDC? Kelly should have kept his primary residence outside of La.

Lot of experts here. Let it all play out and it will be fine

It appears that Governor Landry or his minions thought LSU could float rumors of reasons to terminate for cause in an effort to aid buyout negotiations. They seem to have thought that the rumors would provide leverage that would decrease Kelly's demand. Perhaps he/they figured that LSU did not really need an actual reason to terminate for cause, let alone evidence to support those allegations. "We just gonna put it out there to make Kelly squirm and negotiate."

Look I’m not defending Landry and I don’t support his public statements. But this whole blurb is fricking stupid. LSU has general council, and so does the state. They understand the difference between for cause and for convenience. There is no way they would allow any officials to float for cause without actual cause. From a legal standpoint, a ten cent lawyer knows that’s stupid and pointless and would only expose their client to even more penalties beyond the money owed.

Yall need to take a break. Have a beer. Chill the hell out. Relax a second. This board has become unreadable and fricking embarrassing.
