Fired LSU Coach Brian Kelly Rejects Settlement Offers Amid Contract Standoff
Brian Kelly demands full $54 million buyout after being fired without cause, rejecting LSU's lower lump-sum offers and setting a Nov. 10 deadline for contract confirmation.
- On Nov. 10, Brian Kelly, former LSU football coach, demanded written confirmation that Louisiana State University will pay his full $54 million buyout by 5 p.m. Monday.
- Kelly's lawyers contend LSU failed to follow contract rules requiring written notice for firing for cause, after Kelly was informed he was fired without cause during an Oct. 26 meeting with LSU officials.
- Then-Athletic director Scott Woodward proposed a $25 million lump sum and removal of mitigation or offset clauses, while Julie Cromer later raised the offer to $30 million in two installments, but negotiations stalled.
- Absent written confirmation, Kelly's legal team warned they will "pursue all available legal remedies"; Scott Woodward stepped down Oct. 30 after Gov. Jeff Landry criticized his contract practices.
- If paid in full, Brian Kelly's buyout would be the second-largest in college football buyout records behind Jimbo Fisher's $76.8 million, after four seasons of a 10-year, $95 million contract.
