The athletic director was not involved?

That's pretty screwed up.

That could also mean Woodward is on his way out.

 

If not, that has a potential to cause a problem in looking for the next HC.

What possible HC wants to walk into a situation where a higher up will pull an end around and stick their nose into a situation they may know nothing about?

I dont think its a secret that at any SEC school, if the Governor is calling meetings to have you canned, no AD in the world can stop it. And that's the way of life down here.

 

I dont think it will turn any candidate off from the opportunity. They all know what they're signing up for and it's still worth it.

Curious what the morality clauses were that brought the buy out way down.

I think that's such a grey, subjective area that just the threat of being publicly called out on morality clauses and the damage it could do to finding his next job is enough to get almost anyone to agree to taking a lesser amount.

 

With all the stories pouring out about what a jerk he was/is on a daily basis, it's probably all those little paper cuts. LSU could make any of those into a big deal and drag it out in the media to get out of paying, or Kelly could just take $27M (still a good amount of money) and walk away clean.

 

Or theres a big bombshell waiting to drop that we'll find out in time. Wouldnt put it past Kelly, but I think if there was anything really real there, they'd use it to get out of the contract completely. And it's not like he has so many friends that theyd protect him from the story already getting out. But who knows.

Yo, this ***** is getting WILD with the Governor and his smack talking and now this

 

 

But I cant comment further without pushing this thread towards PPP

 

 

 

LOL

[Mike in Horseheads]

Now they fired the AD

[DrDawkinstein]

The school also doesnt have a President right now, which is why the Governor and Board are so involved.

 

So now these guys need to hire a President, Athletic Director, and Head Coach.

 

Chances they get it all right?

Bigger chance hell freezes over...

 

Governor making these decisions? LSU was the only place in the country where that sounds right

[Cynical]

No President, no AD, no HC, and a meddling career politician governor with no experience running an Athletic department, what could go wrong? 

The governor bypassing the AD to fire the HC directly was pretty stupid, but it now appears he wants some kind of authority to sign off on the new HC contract.

All of this being one month away from NSD.

 

LSU is officially a 🤡 show.

🤣🤣

 

I am with him on these guaranteed contracts, but that bell has been rung.

LSU getting a quality HC is now a long shot.

 

LSU fans wanted the school to offer Saban $200M to come back (99.9% sure that's not going to happen), or try to get Kiffin.

Why would Kiffin want to walk into that s*** show without a guaranteed contract?

Because no one in this situation knows what they are doing.
