I will concede that NIL may have changed the dynamic, but, any school that can win a national championship while being coached by a complete idiot is a top job.  That happened twice with LSU.

Would you say that Les Miles and Ed Orgeron are better coaches than Brian Kelly?

Super unlikely that garden-variety birddogging rises to this level, especially if they didn’t invoke it when they canned him. A court won’t look kindly on using the thread of invoking it after the fact to negotiate your buyout down. If he violated the clause, they should have said so and terminated him for that reason. 

 

Be fair: Thread of Invoking is a decent band name, especially in Luzyanna, although probably better used in Voudon contexts.

Absolutely rooting for Brian Kelly here. Piece of shit schools like LSU must learn that they can’t just offer shit their ass can’t actually pay. 

Right?  Ideally LSU will be forced to pay this amount and then the money is taken away from Kelly for reason I can't imagine.  This is like the weekend of the aggy / tech game when I was in school.  You really wanted them both to lose.

Why would you not say that?

They're hoping he thinks of all the children who will die if they payout his contract.

I laughed when the Aggies impaled themselves on their guaranteed contract to Jimbo with no conditions. I thought is was a one off.

Now, it makes me sick to think of institutions of higher learning risking 100s of millions of dollars then loosing it. I also don't know how comfortable I would be if I were already worth 10s of millions of dollars taking all that money in failure. Integrity? That still a thing? Maybe I never understood it.

It's all a big toilet swirl of fiduciary suicide and greed. 

I have no idea how to fix it. The schools can't form an illegal trust and they can't even remember why they exist.

Crazy fucking world these days.

By what metric do you think LSU qualifies as a Top 5 job?

Well let’s see, there is the, checks notes, 3-AD, 2-President and the 1-Governor of Louisiana. Head Football Coach slides in at number 4! That IS top 5 is it not? /s

Yeah I know what you meant!

So... no Morality Clause in Kelly's contract? Maybe just no proof of violations (yet)...

It’s a really odd contract. Trace Armstrong is an outstanding agent, but he didn’t get a written buyout deadline from LSU. They can just pay him $800,000 every month until his contract expires.

LSU and their regard attorney think this is their leverage, and why they expected Kelly to take $20-25 million in a lump sum. 

Kelly should reject any settlement. Make those regards pay.
