I'm not a lawyer, but I've had to hire many in my life, and I can say that, from my experience, that reasoning does not nullify a contract.

Wrong glass, Sir.
An investor in the first company I ever started had just retired as President of one of the largest steel companies in Ohio. He once told me, "your lawyer is not there to tell you what you can't do; your lawyer is there to tell you how to do what you want to do."

I realize you live really close to the Mississippi border, but I figured you would know more about how things work in the state of Louisiana.
let me help you out.
is a politician involved? if so, ignore actual common sense and laws. just follow the corruption money
is a lawyer involved? if so, then ignore actual common sense and laws. just follow the corruption money
is an elected judge involved? if so, ignore actual common sense and laws. just follow the corruption money
is it happening somewhere within the borders of Louisiana? if so, ignore actual common sense and laws. just follow the corruption money

If Kelly’s lawyers/agent agreed to have the contract governed by the laws of Louisiana then (which they probably did) then he deserves what he’s about to get.

this is Louisiana.If Kelly’s lawyers/agent agreed to have the contract governed by the laws of Louisiana then (which they probably did) then he deserves what he’s about to get.
Kelly will get $77 million.
LSU will get get $45 million
the governor will end up $20 million richer
some judge will get a new Yacht
and the lawyers will double all of that combined.
and somehow at the same time, the money won't actually exist and won't come from anywhere and the state will also plunge deeper into debt to replace this money that they didn't steal from elsewhere.

Only a band of idiots could screw up LSU football. Introducing the buffoons on the bayou — USA TODAY
The LSU job’s so good, it would take a band of idiots to screw up a coaching search so badly as to make it unattractive. Well, strike up the band!

pretty much.
LSU job went from being pretty much universally considered the best job opening in the country this year to ... we're probably stuck with a Group of 5 guy. And not one of the good ones either.

Assistant Coach
My theory: LSU leaked that they were going to release Kelly by the end of the week. Kelly hears the leak, so he packs up his desk and stops acting as the coach. LSU waits a few weeks and announces that they are firing Kelly for cause because he stopped showing up for work.
Brian Kelly lawsuit: LSU claiming it has not 'formally terminated' coach — ESPN
In a legal filing Monday, Brian Kelly's attorneys say LSU has taken the position that it has not "formally terminated" Kelly as the Tigers' football coach and is now seeking to fire him "for cause" and potentially avoid paying his full $54 million buyout.
Good news LSU fans. Maybe what’s old is new again and you already have your new coach?

If he is shit all stupid enough to not get it in writing that he’s been fired then he deserves to lose all the money he’s about to lose.
I can’t see a normal person being that dumb but I can see that arrogant prick not even consulting his agent/lawyer about how to end it.
That said, they don’t want to pay him so the only way to even attempt it is “for cause”.
The fact they made him a second settlement offer right after he said no to the first one would seem to indicate they know they are in n a weak spot.

from the very beginning of this fiasco, LSU has absolutely bungled the PR side of this shitshow at almost every step.
if LSU had the goods on him to fire him for cause, they would have done so immediately.
offering to negotiate tells me they like have something on him, but not enough to win in court.
the hope was they could reach an agreement behind closed doors, pay less than the full amount and move on.
whatever that something is was enough for Kelly to at least initially consider settling so this doesn’t end up in court.
negotiations apparently went a bit sideways and Kelly is no just saying “fuck it! pay me or see you in court”
