LOL LSU

[RBigredMax1]

Good luck in your coaching search while acting like this to weasel out of the buyout. That place is a hot mess …

Hilarious that they think negotiating a buyout down before the coach is fired is a good plan. “We obviously want you gone and have every intention of firing you - how about you take less than half of what we owe you?”

Brian Kelly lawsuit: LSU claiming it has not 'formally terminated' coach

In a legal filing Monday, Brian Kelly's attorneys say LSU has taken the position that it has not "formally terminated" Kelly as the Tigers' football coach and is now seeking to fire him "for cause" and potentially avoid paying his full $54 million buyout.

Ha "Can...can we just give you 25 million instead?"

While I can't imagine it will really hurt them much when it comes to getting a coach, it is comical.

His fake accent alone should be enough for firing him for cause.

The buyout negotiation is actually interesting. Seems stupid for Kelly to take a lesser amount…unless he wants to keep coaching. If he wants another job, he should take less but have LSU drop the language about the buyout being reduced by what he is being paid. I’d rather get $30 or 40 million now and then get another job where I get the full annual pay as opposed to $54 million but have to back load the contract for 6 years to avoid buyout reduction.

now if BK just wants to hang it up and go sit on the beach for the next 6 years, then yeah, give me my money LSU

If he is not fired he should pull a Costanza and just show up for work today.

BK might want to add a slander lawsuit if they try to something fishy.

Not only is he going to get every penny BUT if LSU isn't careful they will make BK look like a good guy who has been wronged in all of this AND who is walking away with 54 million.

 

[steinek11]

These athletic directors act like they are members of Congress the way they piss money away.

Why don’t you get together with coach and ask him how you can help him win. Put together a three year plan. He came there to win a national title. They give up so easily.

The ADs are not making the decision to fire the coaches in these situations. The money donors say here is the money let him go . They just assume it’s easy for a AD to go a better coach than the one that went 34-14 that they just got rid off .

Except that the buyout is usually is not upfront, it is over time and may stipulate that BK looks for another job. If I'm LSU, then I would expect to negotiate a lump sum if that's what he wants.

LSU has already offered a lump sum. But it was 20 or 25. Which is low. He has the leverage. He can negotiate the buyout reduction if he’s willing to give up some money. Just depends on what he wants to do. If he has no intention of coaching again, he’ll want the whole $54

 

[Mack In Motion]

What would BK's motivation be in order to take 20 or 25 when he is owed 54 by contract?

Is he hurting for money and needs it NOW?

This is a very real scenario. LSU is in the FA part before the FO part. LSU and they're lawyers are walking a fine line of attempting to provide a different analysis and throwing $#lt against the wall without honoring the contract. It's OK - it happens in nearly all big $$ contracts but now that BK has filed his paperwork v LSU, LSU needs to be damn careful.

BK's lawyers are not dummies. He is from the Northeast so he probably has some Harvard guys working for him. Harvard Law vs LSU Athletic Department? LSU is a $54,000,000 underdog.

Losses to teams ranked 3,7 and 9 and it was the final straw ! Should have just fired him before this season

It’s almost laughable what LSU is claiming, that he never was terminated and the AD acted without authority WTF! Like your GF saying get out I never want to see you again then a few days later she says we never broke up

Somebody has to play hardball and do the paperwork. . Nobody likes to pay attorneys but the alternative is a gunfight.

Kelly I doubt will ever look like a good guy but no doubt they’re trying to screw him.

It's like when you win a lottery... a larger amount of money over time or a smaller lump sum upfront. Plus that larger amount probably came with stipulations like he obtain another job. In this case he has some leverage because it doesn't appear that he deserved to be fired based on performance.

Expected performance is a difficult metric to quantify. His contract, like most head coaches, had performance benchmarks. Bowl game, conference championships, CFP, national championship.

His overall body of work was fairly solid at LSU. He had a 71% winning percentage and was 5-12 v ranked opponents and five of those losses were to teams ranked in the Top 10.

LSU admin is stretching the bad faith v implied expectations. They will lose.

You vastly overestimate the IQ of Harvard people these days. It's definitely not what it used to be.

 

[Shimmer003]

The issue is that much of the legal work and red tape that you need an attorney to do is an intentionally designed system by them to ensure they’re needed to navigate it. It’s not necessary other than the fact they made it necessary. And then they collect checks. Parasites.

Yep, they are there to party. All the hard work went in before acceptance. Let’s rubberstamp those degrees. They’ve earned it. It’s not supposed to be this hard.

IF you are a Harvard law grad you’re either in the top .001 % of any undergraduate degree holders OR fairly bright with a qualifying “disadvantage”. It is EXTREMELY difficult to get admitted in to Harvard law.

Their job is to either defend the accused, prosecute the accused, resolve (litigate) disputes or prevent disputes. We are a nation of laws and not duels to the death.

damn. Can’t believe I’m defending lawyers

What reason would they have for firing for cause? I want to know what a brilliant legal mind like you would come up with ?

 

[BobVH5150]

Brian Kelly is a jerk, and I'm sure if LSU wanted a yearslong legal battle, they could dig up something and try to make it stand for cause. However, I laugh at them for having to pay the 54 million. I hope Kelly does not agree to a buyout, either. I want LSU to know the pain of paying Bo Pelini, Mike Riley, and Scott Frost.
