Only a band of idiots could screw up LSU football. Well, about that ... [View all]
LSU is considered a crown jewel job within the college football ecosystem. Coaches who ply their craft elsewhere look at LSU with envy. Ed Orgeron won a national championship there. Les Miles won one and nearly two. Enough said.
The jobs so good, it would take a band of idiots to screw up a coaching search so badly as to make LSU unattractive.
Well, strike up the band!
In the latest twist of buffoons on the bayou, LSU is refusing to confirm it will pay fired coach Brian Kelly the $54 million buyout hes owed, according to a lawsuit filed by Kellys lawyers.
The only way LSU would not owe Kelly his buyout is if it showed he violated his contract terms, allowing LSU to fire him for cause.
LSU has not offered evidence it fired Kelly for any other reason than his job performance. Kellys win-loss record is insufficient grounds for a for-cause firing.
