It won’t be LSUs money being used to buy him out.Its independent donors so I don’t know why the BOS TAF would or could object.Maybe yhey would object to breaking the contract and looking bad nationally.

I think he wants out too. He knows he can’t make it work. Will have less support and less money. Rebuild of a roster.

After the next loss they will start negotiating.

Yes. Buyout is too high. My guess is he cleans house on the offensive side of the ball (Sloan and Davis for sure, maybe more). He's had a terrible DC hire that he corrected with Baker so they will give him the same shot on offense. They will reload in the portal like they did this year + try and build a strong recruiting class. Instead of paying all that money for a buyout + new coaches, they will spend some on offensive coaches and invest in the portal. He has another year or two (unless this season absolutely tanks and he goes 6-6 or worse).

Why would people give to the portal fund again when this year was squandered?

Catch 22. If I had that money to donate, I wouldn't trust Kelly to invest it well.

Your answer is obvious.

Is Matt McMahon still the LSU basketball coach?

Yes, unfortunately, Kelly will be LSU’s HC next year. But…. People thinking a new OC is going to make LSU a contender next year are wrong. LSU will never be a contender with Kelly as HC.

Im with chefuncte Tiger. If he finishes 6 and 6, i believe he could be gone. Anything better than that including 7-5, I believe he will be back .. I do believe that Sloan, Brad Davis, Cortez Hankton will be gone. I believe that Frank Wilson will survive due to recruiting purposes.

You can't buy BK out and have NIL money. LSU doesn't have that kind of $$$. BK is here for two more years.
