Fast Times @ LSU

there’s nothing to dismiss in a declaratory judgment lawsuit

It can be dismissed if there is no cause of action from an actual dispute. if LSU is still paying Kelly and in negotiations where is the dispute?

quote:

---

We have no leverage

---

If we have proof of cause, that’s our leverage. I’m interpreting this lawsuit as Kelly’s attorneys attempt to reduce his downside.

When Kelly said he was keeping receipts, I think he meant for his expense reports. LOL

LSU is doing some shady shite.

What specifically has LSU done that is shady?

The article is misleading in the below quote on timing of first bye week. Technically the Vanderbilt game did occur “after” the 1st bye week, but the South Carolina victory on October 11th was the first game after that bye week with the Vanderbilt game taking place on the following Saturday the 18th.

---

I agree with your timeline... we had bye weeks after Ole Miss and TX A&M. the bye week in question had to happen between Ole Miss and South Carolina. I'm not surprised that the media stated it incorrectly.

And I read this a little differently. It’s not a 7 day notice period, it’s a cure period for the employee to provide a response from Kelly. He has the right, but not obligation to defend his position.

---

I read that portion the same.

---

I think there’s probably a number between the $30 million LSU offered and the $45ish million NPV that Kelly would agree to. But this lawsuit is basically cutting through the strong-arm tactics and forcing LSU to shite or get off the pot. Either prove you can fire him with cause or stop bluffing.

---

I agree with this too. Who has more to lose? Kelly or LSU? I think ultimately this gets settled. it's in the interest of both parties for this to go away.

The original contract… he would get paid out over time. We get to subtract out from our monthly payout any income he makes from another job.

My understanding is we were offering a lump sum 1x payment. So, a bigger $ now or over the length of the contract less whatever he’s making.

With as bad as our OL is this season, our only shot is with a mobile QB.

Lot of bad takes in these threads of people white knighting for BK. Funny to go back and read.

Going back in time... Les Miles and Ed Orgeron won titles here. I would have "thought" back then that Kelly would have just as good of a chance as his predecessors....

what i didn't know at the time....
that his special teams would not be special
that he would not focus on winning the LOS on both sides of the ball
that he would be so "absentee" from his own program that he claimed he wanted to win a national title

these were unknowns upon his hiring. and being bama in year 1 was another red herring.
