Attorneys: LSU's conduct has 'made it nearly impossible' for Brian Kelly to land job
Attorneys for Brian Kelly have informed LSU in a letter that the school's claim that it had not "formally terminated" Kelly as its football coach has "made it nearly impossible" for him to get another coaching job.According to the letter, which was sent Nov. 18 to LSU athletic director Verge Ausberry and board of supervisors member John H. Carmouche, Kelly says he "reserves all rights to seek any and all damages to the fullest extent permitted by law" for the interference in any potential job candidacy.
"As you know, there is absolutely no basis to LSU's contrived positions that Coach Kelly was not terminated or that cause existed for such termination," the letter, which was obtained by ESPN, reads. "LSU's conduct, including its failure to confirm that Coach Kelly was terminated without cause and its unsupported allegations of misconduct on the part of Coach Kelly, has made it nearly impossible for Coach Kelly to secure other football-related employment.
"LSU's conduct continues to harm Coach Kelly, particularly during this critical hiring period."

There are currently nine vacancies in the power conferences, with others expected to open as the coaching carousel begins after the regular season ends this weekend.
