Meh. The headlines are fun, but these things always take negotiation and settlement. The headline is more dramatic than the reality of the situation.

Should have been fired for these dance moves honestly

There are no negotiations, unless they are firing him for cause, which is looks like they completely messed up that process, then Kelly is owed the full buyout amount to be paid in the manner in which the contract stated. LSU and their officials thought they'd be able to negotiate a smaller deal, that is failure on them. Now they are back tracking trying to find ways to reduce that payout.

Looks like the offer to supply boiled crawfish in lieu of some of the cash buyout was rejected.

Technically you are probably correct.  But you can never forget that the party is in Louisianna.  It will probably have an LSU alum as judge and everyone in the jury wearing purple and gold.  This will not be an issue of Spanish law..................this will be LSU law.

What a cluster f.  Will make it difficult to attract a top tier coach when you try to f-over the last coach.  They are going to end up hiring a guy like Joe Brady, as they can buy with a bargain price without much buy-out.   Could be a home run, but could also be a dud.  Always a bigger risk to hire a first time head coach, especially at top 10 program.

How’s that search for a new coach going?

LSU clearly fired BK for performance. LSU acted hastily initially and now stupidly as it relates to the for cause clause in the agreed upon contract.  LSU appears untrustworthy and vile.

If I'm a head coach or agent I'm not doing a deal with LSU unless the upfront money, buyout and terms look even more in my favor than the BK deal.

LSU is a dumpster fire and clown show. LSU money donors should feel dissapointment and disgust in their program and this very embarrassing and costly process.
