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.

I'm curious why they were naive enough to think he would settle for less money, or for a compensation structure that benefits the former employer that just shit-canned him. Fucking idiots. 

Because they convinced themselves that all that was needed to clear up this dispute was a little theology and geometry.

I’ll go ahead and say Sexton is still the king. Jimbo will all get every red cent of his aggy $77 million buyout, and he got $19.2 million of it within 60 days of his termination. aggy didn’t try anything cute because they’re desperately afraid of Sexton and raised the money.

Kelly is playing a risky game, but this is likely his last stop so he has nothing to lose. Anything is possible in Louisiana state government. Would it surprise anyone if Landry held a presser tomorrow and said Kelly rejected our third and final offer, so we’re going to stop paying him? Armstrong should have structured the buyout with immediate cash up front.

Would it surprise anyone if they came back and said they were gonna make him coach again?

Orgeron won because he caught lightning in a bottle with Burrow as QB and Brady as OC. 

Kelly couldn't catch a bottle full of lightning if it hit him in the hands.

What if he was standing next to an equipment manager on a metal tower in a thunder storm?

I think each time his name is said there should be a reminder of his role in the death of that young man.

My favorite part is them assuming BK would be down with whatever buyout.  That fucking state can't fund 53 mil, they'd have to break it up into Bobby Bonilla years.

Its about to get ugly in Tiger land. LSU is trying to fire him for cause after he rejected their settlement offers. He's gonna fight it. Ive heard lots of rumors about Kelly there. The typical coah stuff, getting wasted, running around on his wife , etc. But theres one rumor that involves another LSU coach's daughter or something to that affect. No clue if its true, but Id imagine of it is then he could be fired for cause over it. 

Going to the matresses

I didn’t think they’d be dumb enough to do this, but I was clearly wrong. There’s a procedure for firing for cause that was pretty clearly not followed. I guess they are hoping a LA court will just side with the Tigahs. 
 

At every turn they do exactly the thing that makes them the least attractive possible coaching destination. Landry is gonna end up coaching himself. 
 

Landry promising to provide a sideline tiger and producing a fat, inbred False Mike proving to be an incredible omen. The ancients would recognize this.
