re: LSU and Brian Kelly are at odds over his contract buyout

Posted by CapitalTiger on 11/9/25 at 3:18 pm to LSBoosie

Do you think he has to go to a school that will pay him more than $9.5 million per year? Brian Kelly doesn’t need any “leverage”

You’re not understanding.

Right now he’s going to get $9.5M/yr for 6 more years from someone. That could be LSU entirely, another school/media outlet, or a combination of both.

So if he’s trying to negotiate a deal with, say, Boston College - BC has no incentive to do anything more than a 3-4 year, $3.5m deal.

Whereas if he can eliminate the mitigation clause. He can negotiate a stronger (and longer) deal now.

How does finalizing a settlement help his negotiations with other schools?

Right now he has no leverage. He’s owed $9.5M/yr from LSU. No school is going to pay him more than that.

Actually the opposite. He’s trying to get LSU’s settlement finalized to help his negotiations with schools.

re: Companies that were founded in Louisiana but relocated out of state.

Posted by CapitalTiger on 11/7/25 at 1:39 pm to ShunnedHuman

Off top of my head:

Delta
CenturyLink
IEM
Albermarle
Canes
Shaw/CB&I

Bigger than these are all the O&G companies and Banks that had large presence in state but moved out when operations were consolidated to Houston, Birmingham, Atlanta, etc.

Idiots will post anything without knowing shite . Cajuns were run out of Nova Scotia because the refused to take an oath to the British takeover of the country. In fact they showed leadership by not bowing down to the British . I tell you this board is full idiots

Relax, chief. It was a joke. I’m fully aware of why and how they were exiled from Nova Scotia.

Both Josh Brooks and Keith Carter at OleMiss were AD’s BEFORE their current schools. THATS WHY OUR HIRE IS DIFFERENT, LAZY, and SAD!

Brooks was AD at Millsaps and Carter was not an AD anywhere else. He’s been at Ole Miss since 2009.

Deputy AD at LSU >> Millsaps. Hell, LSU just hired a sitting FBS AD for the other Deputy AD role.

re: BOS meeting has begun...UPDATE: Dalton is new chancellor, Rousse is LSU System President

Thrown in is that for reporting purposes they are combining LSU, LSUHSC, and Pennington as a unified system under Dalton as VP and Chancellor.

This is the board‘s way of appeasing the governor, but putting the guy they really wanted in charge of the primary campuses

It’s been discussed for a while now. Tate even moved his office from the system building to Boyd Hall.

that wasnt from him, but to be fair, he didnt change it either.

The enrollment situation is the result of a failure beginning about 10 years ago. Competitors like Arkansas, Oklahoma, Alabama, and Kentucky focused on recruitment from above average kids from nearby high-population states (Texas, Georgia, Tennessee) that were getting delayed/deferred admissions to their in-state schools.

This allowed these schools to remain financially strong. LSU and King Alexander got caught behind the curve here so threw most of their recruitment efforts at Online and Pell Grant students.

Tate kept it in place since revenue was solid and put his efforts towards research growth.

no i dont. Im all for getting a traditional liberal education. but that cant be the main emphasis for a school like LSU because we do not succeed in that and those are not really viable fields in this state.

im not saying you get rid of the liberal arts departments at all.

Liberal Arts education does not mean researched-based programs.

exactly. The whole point of the university is to produce grads that are employable in fields that actually matter. Its not to just get grants and unlimited funding from the Federal gov

Not to be the "ackchuallly" guy but research is the primary purpose of a R1 land, sea, and space grant school. It doesn't exclude the fact that the majority of undergraduate students are interested in career readiness, though.

he cant....he just sees he was the President at McNeese so that must mean is not qualified.

He very well may be qualified. It's just a huge jump from a regional commuter school to running the Flagship System.

If Rousse had no connections to Louisiana and was the President at Jacksonville State or Eastern Kentucky and was the leading candidate - the BoS would be criticized heavily.

There really aren't. The "backlash" you are reading falls into one of two categories:

1. Democrats who hate Landry.

2. Miserable fricks who complain about everything. The kind that want Jay Johnson fired if he doesn't sweep a weekend series.

You’re missing the majority of people who simply didn’t want Landry to air out his grievances in the manner he did.

There’s plenty of publicly available information on SWs political affiliations if you want to dig into it.

I’m well aware of Woodward’s political affiliations.

This situation is way more complicated than just “drrr, Landry’s an idiot, he lied..drr”.

It really shouldn’t be, though. My frustration is with Landry doing Landry things related to LSU just because it scores some points & gives him attention.

- Omar appearance
- WBB National Anthem
- BoS Ticket Price tweet
- Kirk statue
- Woodward comments & media tour

I wouldn’t really care about the Woodward stuff if this was a one-off situation but this is what Landry does.

For the record, I’m okay with Kelly and Woodward being gone.
