Episode Synopsis

Former LSU football coach Brian Kelly has filed a lawsuit against the university, alleging they never formally terminated him and are now attempting to fire him for cause. This move could significantly impact a fifty-four-million-dollar buyout. Kelly turned down settlement offers of twenty-five million and thirty million dollars. LSU representatives told Kellys team that grounds for termination for cause existed, a claim Kellys representatives say was never made before November tenth, two thousand twenty-five. Prominent sports analyst Paul Finebaum called LSUs handling of the situation disgraceful, and legal expert Tom Mars stated that LSU would likely face a difficult time in court trying to justify a for-cause termination. Kellys lawsuit seeks a declaratory judgment confirming his termination was without cause, entitling him to the full liquidated damages.The Daily News Now! - Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
