How is he in violation ?
Posted on 11/19/25 at 10:28 am to GeauxLSU4
He will go down as one of the worse HC hires for LSU.

Is the consensus that BK wasn't really trying?
If so, kind of crazy seeing how high (relatively speaking of course) the floor is at LSU with a coach who doesn't care

Key word being qualifying
He’d be overqualified for many coaching jobs, there’d only be a handful of “qualifying” jobs. It’s not like he’d apply at a D2/3 school or juco

No shite...for a guy not trying, his record wasn't bad. Your Asst Coaches were running the show, and getting blasted by a lazy coach.

When the first murmurs of firing BK were happening, I remember thinking "man...his record isn't even that bad".
But then you see his record against non cupcake opponents and it puts everything into perspective.
Hope our new coach is driven and is hungry for improvement in his process.

Yeah, I get his record agaist ranked teams. With the in-state talent, I agree with Verge. Playoffs every year.

“am curious as to what qualifies as "proof" that he is trying to find work.”
he does not have to look at lower jobs..A simple email to his agent.. once a month
“Joe any head coaching jobs out there paying 11.5 million dollars at a top 30 university.. throw my name in the hat if you see one.. thanks.. BK.. btw time to do my Northern California wine road trip…”
If someone bites go get a free lunch and talk.. easy to blow the interview if he wants..

Because that’s what the contract that he is suing to enforce says he will do.
While the contract is is in force, it does not make much since for him to start a new coaching job. If he starts one now, it all goes to LSU. If he just completely waited it out, he may not be marketable in 5 years, while running the risk of violating his contract. If he decides to wait for the “right job” he may still be in violation of his contract, and if that is in 2-3 years he could be back on the hot seat by the time the LSU contract expires and will have worked for nothing.
He values liquidity, but doesn’t want to pay for it. The only reason he didn’t settle before suing was greed. He wants the full amount and to be let out of mitigation duties. The only possible way he gets there is getting a court ruling that his liquidated damages are the floor of what is owed to him. Pretty easy to see what his goal is. And if you can accept that, it’s pretty easy to see this was the goal all along.

It’s grey and would depend on how much it means to LSU. When you don’t even finish half of your contract, it means a lot to LSU. If you sue LSU to get there, it probably means even more to them.

You do this 5 years with no success, not sure that is looking for qualifying employment in good faith. There would be a risk of getting sued for 5-6 years.

The word overqualified is not found in the four corners of the contract.
You can’t just make stuff up.

In order to lower such a huge amount, I’d assume it would be worth LSU’s time and effort to litigate it if its obvious he’s not searching in good faith.

That’s what I’m saying.

The Kelly hire becomes more and more ridiculous as the days go by.

I heard Brady Quinn on the radio this morning who said from people he talked to linked to BK, he has very little interest in coaching again. So that leaves us on the hook for the full 54 million despite the mitigation clause, which BK intends to collect all of. He also said his priorities are golf and wine instead of football which lines up with everything reported during his tenure as our coach.
If true that is very disappointing. I thought he would want to coach again very quickly, but if not, then I do wonder if he was mailing it in.

I still can't stand he threw a fit over a question and called LSU fans spoiled for having concerns about the offense.

If I had millions, I would shut down my business and find something else to do
clients are difficult to please
so are players and fanbases
My son went to the A&M game. After BK was fired, I texted my son, "How does it feel to have seen the previous active coach w/ the most wins coach his last game?" I've thought all alone he wouldn't return to coaching. Knowing folks who are a little older than him, I've seen how difficult it can become to have the energy to go to work every day, but especially for a job that's very stressful, competitive and requires a high level of energy. I don't think he has that in him anymore. OTOH, I'd not be surprised to see him take a job in the media. I don't think he's ready to sit at home full time. I've not read the contract, but I've heard that taking a job other than coaching (for example in the media) would be a mitigating factor for the remaining pay out to him that LSU is accountable for.

I don't know. He wanted to settle at 43 before he filed suit against LSU. He seems like the petty type to go for the full amount after we started bringing up the fired for cause case.
It really doesn't matter. He has to actually search for legit work, and with his reputation as thoroughly trashed as it is, how many D1 programs are even going to interview him.
We have several years to pay him. He's not going to be able to drum up legit interest for that long.

How is this possible?
