Absolutely this. I can't stand when Democrats say negotiate, when they mean ... our way or the highway.

So if Kelly has not been fired nor suspended.

1) explain the press releases etc announcing his termination

2) why is he not coaching the team?

3) why do we have an interim?

Despite what they may think, the people who run LSU / the state are NOT the smartest people in the room, no matter what room they are in...

Best Answer: "A judge may well find that they have. Or that through what they have said / done, LSU has actually breached the contract."

....and 5 more people who need mental treatment for OMG and their onset of TDS.

I wish electroshock therapy was still popular - and by winning the lotto you be the one who 'presses' the button.

I'd put a brick on it -- at least for 60 seconds.

What about those 'air-raid' programs in the Pac-12.... err Big 28 or the Little 12 who were/ are known for their passing offenses?

The big argument against them was simply not having a defense.

Nothing wrong with this at all. I look forward to see how this season shakes out, at the end. Texas is playing well, and it will be a game..

The better do it soon. At his age, he'll be eligible for retirement after 3 years. Wasn't he rooming with Brett Favre in Jr. College before New Mexico

LSU has so much money they are going to fire BK twice, and at this rate, may end up paying him more than they thought they owed him.

Yes, he is.

Jim and Nick share an office still on UA campus grounds. The office is rumored to have a red phone, just in case.

re: Only LSU could make the biggest a-hole in football into a sympathetic figure

Posted by captainFid on 11/11/25 at 10:25 am to CarolinaGamecock99

IANAL but LSU, their media and personal leaks better be careful. They first made it seem like 'morals clause' was invoked to lower payments to a single bulk payment, never correcting news reports of these leaks. The intent - make it look like 'we've got the goods on Brian Kelly'.

BK's legal representation can fire back with a defamation lawsuit.

And as part of the LSU faithful have finally realized -- great look when trying to attract a 'big name' coach. I suspect they will have to take a step backward, hiring a lower tier coach.

This could still be good for them. He could turn out to be the next Mike Elko.

Except they don't.

The jokes just keep writing themselves.

Half of the posters on tRant believe they are financial advisors; why BK should take $25 million and invest it, and get, wait for it.... $50 million. But he can work at the same time.... LMAO.

And who believe BK is in the running for another job which pays $5 - 10 million / year. Sure boys.

Meanwhile they believe whatever was reported by some shady journalist about moral clauses being invoked -- all while secretly thinking Matt Moscona secret meeting's w/ Nick Saban will cause him to return to the promised land.

As the Bayou burns...

PS - I really do expect LSU to be back quickly, but you have to laugh at this.

re: Was Kelly the worst LSU coach

Not sure about it but I can see he was kind of a miserable person. It seems customary that when a coach is fired someone has something good to say about the man.

I’ve not looked, but it seems near universal that no one has a good thing to say about the guy.

Not true.

Both, his banker and real estate agents, have given full endorsement to Kelly.

/sarcasm -- In reality, several have really gone on record, with at least a couple of high profile players. Kelly definitely was a CEO coach, which was what they wanted - someone like Saban. If successful, he would be labeled a genius who brought order and structure to the Baton Rouge football program.
