Kelly Withdraws Lawsuit, LSU Owes Him Full Buyout

Former LSU football coach, Brian Kelly, is set to withdraw his lawsuit against the university after LSU confirmed he was fired without cause, entitling him to the full buyout from his nearly $100 million contract. Kelly had initially sued LSU, alleging the university suggested he could be fired for cause, which would have reduced his payout. LSUs response clarifies that Kelly must actively seek another football job while still being paid, with any new salary offsetting what LSU owes him. Kelly, who went 34-14 with LSU, has rejected initial settlement offers and is seeking a present value lump sum that reflects the long-term value of his contract. The Daily News Now! — Every city.
