re: Alabama can't win anything much - their rushing offense will kill them

Their stuff actually isn’t pass dominant. In 2023, if you take away Penick’s 11 sacks they ran the ball for four more plays than they threw it, 380 to 376, and they had a 1,200-yard rusher on the team. The running game is an essential part of their stuff, but their scheme depends on quickness rather than bulk in the OL.
Penix had over 550 pass attempts in 2023.
According to TeamRankings, 2023 Washington was #130 in rushing attempts per game.

LSU hired a man KNOWING that he had, as head coach, killed a kid on campus. They clearly accepted that behavior as a NOT FOR CAUSE situation. How can they claim FOR CAUSE now for anything less than that?

Over the weekend LSU fans became contract lawyers. Yesterday they became financial advisors.
It is interesting to watch.
I'm no financial advisor, it's just basic financial principles. I'm confident betting on a 10% return, especially over 6 years. Especially if that means I can take another position and make more money on top of that.
Maybe Brian Kelly isn't, I have no clue.
Taking the guaranteed payout means his earnings are capped at $54 million for the next 6 years, he could make $70+ if he received a lump sum, invested wisely, and got another job.

I'd rather take a chance on a complete unknown than hire Drinkwitz.

He has a contract with a guarantee of $54 million.
It looks like a 10 year treasury note closed at 4.081% today. That is as close to zero risk investment as there is.
$35 million invested today at 4.081% interest will be worth $44 million in 6 years.
Do you have a zero risk investment with a guaranteed 10% annual return?
Why do you think Brian Kelly will take $35 million?
Just depends how scared he is of the market.
Also depends on if he wants to work again.

Why would he accept $32-35 million?
$35 million invested now with a return of 10% gives him $62mil in 6 years vs the $54mil he'd have otherwise.

SidewalkTiger said this is normal with all coaching changes.
Negotiations are normal, this isn't negotiations anymore.
They need to just offer him a decent lump sum of $32-35 million. If they can't afford that, just pay the man his money over the 6 years.

Just give him $35 million and be done with it.
re: Does LSU understand how the Kelly situation
Posted by SidewalkTiger on 11/11/25 at 9:00 pm to Luke
We all said the same thing when Auburn pulled the whole Clesi/Harsin fiasco and look how that turned out.
They went out and hired Hugh Free....oh wait, nevermind.

Why would it settle for $29mm when BK already rejected $30mm?
$30mil was in two payments.
$29mil seems a little low to me though, unless he's worried about the mitigation clause or is planning to coach again.
If not, I'd want at least $32mil.

That's the problem. Our money guys are not willing to pay out 22-24 million year for the next 4 or 5 years for 2 guys.....one of which is not gonna coach again.
If that's the case, you aren't getting anyone proven and it's a complete crapshoot so get Kelvin Sheppard or something similar and see what happens.
re: LSU fans reading the board right now...
Posted by SidewalkTiger on 11/11/25 at 7:48 pm to TigerLunatik
If LSU has the money, they need to offer a lump sum payment of $35 million.
If they don't, just shut up and pay for the mistake.
Props to Aggie for getting it right.

Kelly is going to get his buyout, unless he settles for a lump sum.
$35 mil or so makes sense for both parties but I don't know if LSU can afford it.
