Years ago, I recall the LSU fans being kind, gracious and pleasant when they visited the dome. Seemed like some of the nicer fans out there.

Any good coach should be leery of going there with the Governor getting involved.

Get the popcorn ready

I love the the irony of the sign on the podium, “protecting the most vulnerable.” Certainly, the HC of LSU has historically been a vulnerable category of Louisiana cirizens.

Woodward brought in Kelly, if I recall. If so, the governor is probably right in not letting Woodward bring in another problem.

I am not sure the governor can do better but he likely cannot do worse.

I read today that Kelly won’t take anything less than his full buyout. The AD is pretty much out of the negotiating process. The governor has taken over. The AD was also the same guy who gave Jimbo the huge buyout. $130 million for two of his hires to not coach.

Luv, luv, luv, to see these SEC teams pay out the big bucks to someone not to work for them. I hope to see 2 or 3 SEC teams do this every year.

I wonder if these guys realize that if everyone is paying top dollar to win, half of them will still finish in the bottom half of the league.

Is the school going to pay his buyout? I thought boosters do that.

Kelly’s contract is with the LSU, not boosters. If boosters though are willing to donate money for it, LSU will gladly accept especially if the boosters had promised to, just to get rid of Kelly. The governor, Landry, has been described as a big LSU booster himself.

Shhhhhhhh! Don’t confuse them with the facts. Let the “fool and his money will soon be separated” effect take place.

Some quick research seems to indicate there could not be a specific new levy or other item to bill the taxpayers for Kelly’s buyout. Will be interesting how it plays out.

The governor just ended Kiffin’s move to LSU. What he said was probably true, but knocking his agent is not a smart thing to do.

Amazing. What a mess. Super competitive coaching hire year and they’re running it like a circus.

Kiffin’s agent (who also represents Fran) is THE agent in college football bar none.

What a great attempt of trying to make LSU more dysfunctional than Florida, Governor…

Yea knocking the top agent in the game is how you end up getting played.

lol, nice recovery that dude there! I don't know how to respond anymore to the shitzzshow that "college" football has become. Except to say it's driving me to the Ivy's and div 3 more, including this weekend. Let's go Continentals!

True statement here from someone I’m really close with and close to LSU, Brian Kelly was having an affair with a real estate agent. Big group of boosters found out. Part of the reason he’s getting fired and now they are trying to not pay him because of a “morality” clause built into his contract. Wild times

Are we going to talk about the rumor that he was sneaking around with an athlete from the gymnastics team too?

“Hey kid, what do you want to be when you grow up?”

“A losing football coach in the SEC or Big 10!”
