Seems strange that last few head coaches, Orgeron and Kelly, have not landed another job.


And the only reason Les got one was because his buddy, Jeff Long, was the AD.

He's probably on the beach in the south of France.

Well for good reason. If you flame out at LSU, you’re likely not actually a very good coach, or you’re just lazy.

If I’m in his position you’d never hear from me either. I’d have a new tropical address with zero phone coverage.

With all due respect to my beloved Tiger Droppings, if you paid me 53m to leave my job you wouldn't hear from me for a while.

Paqui is going to milk him for every dime then divorce him and take $27mil, so he'll need another job by 2028.

He’s old and getting paid 53mil to “look” for a job. I wouldn’t be doing anything other than counting my money either

I don't think he has the personality to be a commentator or work in a booth. He obviously has knowledge and experience, but that only takes you so far. His presentation sucks.

With $53 M being paid out from LSU, he will have his agent put his name up for jobs now and again and interview with a bad attitude to satisfy the "attempt to find a job" clause, and he will play a ton of golf, drink his wine, and fade away into history.

At least there won't be any talk of when he gets his statue

He has multiple of millions of dollars and you think he is done?
He may be spending the time of his life with family and grandkids and playing all the golf he wants. He is likely living a dream.

What about the person/political organization that hired him? Do they get recognition.

He's out shopping for a ladder so he can take the Kelly jerseys off the wall of the house on LSU lake. He is too short to reach them.

Everyone says Kelly is an arse and, idk, he may very well be. But I always thought he was well spoken and informative in his press conferences and that he generally treated the local media pretty well, sans the one dust up with Cauble. So I disagree with the opinion that he wouldn’t be good on television. I think he could fill a Saban type role as a pre or post game analyst and be pretty good at it.

Just wait. After he sits out the next coaching carousel, LSU is going to stop paying his lazy arse.


I agree. I don't think this is over. Based on what I have read about the contract, LSU had some pretty firm language about him having to continue employment to mitigate the buyout payments in the event of a firing, and failure to do so is a breach of the contract. He has to find a job soon or LSU can stop the payments.

The early posturing by LSU saying the firing may be for cause allowed BK to claim it damaged his ability to find another job, which was smart, because of the language of the contract regarding the buyout. Once LSU started making the monthly payments, the clock started ticking on BK having to find another job to keep getting the monthly payments.
