Sure, the moment they're hired it won't be open, but the new guy will be in place in time to add from the portal. Just making a point of principle, not precision

HELLO AGAIN, Guest! We are back, live! We're still doing some troubleshooting and maintenance to fix a few remaining issues but everything looks stable now (except front page which we're working on over next day or two) Thanks for your patience and support! MUCH appreciated! --Brett (BamaNation) if you see any problems - please post them in the Troubleshooting board!
I’m told that representatives for Texas coach Steve Sarkisian have let NFL decision makers know that he would be interested in potential head coaching openings, including the Titans’.
Yea, froghorns aren't looking too hot in the SEC...not near a good as they thought they'd be.
You are assuming the new hires (the staff and boosters) play by the rule book. Behind-the-scenes poaching? No way that will happen.
Probably more to do with the boosters than anything.
He may be getting forced to play Arch.
Kyle Flood, come on down!!
I wouldn't be surprised... The boosters at Tejas are one of the primary things that will let us keep up with them and their massive NIL budget going forward.
If the Texas job opens up, with Florida, Penn St, possibly Auburn, Jimmy Sexton and all the coaches he reps are getting paid this year!
Dozens of little Jerry Jones’s keeping Texas mediocre.
They thought they were hot stuff after a very down year for the SEC last year. Reality now slapping them in the face.
Brian Kelly's future at LSU in serious doubt after tense Sunday meetings
Kelly began the day anticipating a staff shake-up. Dusk falls on Baton Rouge with Kelly himself in the crosshairs

LSU negotiating Brian Kelly’s potential departure
It perhaps seemed like an insurmountable financial task, but it appears LSU might be ready to move on from head football coach Brian Kelly.

I would like to be a fly on the wall in that meeting, it sounds like Kellys plan was to sacrifice some assistants, but it doesn't sound like it is going his way.Brian Kelly's future at LSU in serious doubt after tense Sunday meetings

I think they finish paying Orgeron in December, so after that they'd only have to pay one ex-coach.LSU negotiating Brian Kelly’s potential departure

What a curiosity that Woodward is the common denominator on Jimbo's massive buyout ... and now Kelly's.
I think LSU would/will owe Killy some $53 million if they fire him now (90% of remaining contract)...

Maybe Woodward needs to be fired, and Kelly becomes the AD!!!
So many interesting points in this thread....
All college coaches are coaching professional ball. College football bearing any semblance of what we knew disappeared with the O'Bannon decision.
Sarkisian to Texas Exes: Your money is nice, but it's too expensive. I have to deal with professional players anyway. If I'm in the NFL, I deal with only one owner. And free agency isn't an annual thing.
There's a rule book? Where? Who wrote it? Has a court approved it?
Ordinarily, I'd agree. But he played Quinn Ewers ahead of Arch last year. Now we know why. I was discussing with Mrs. Basket Case yesterday, and we wondered how bad Arch's backup had to be to justify Arch keeping the job this long.
Truer words never written.
There are articles saying LSU is "negotiating" with Kelley on the terms of termination. I don't understand why Kelley would negotiate a penny. As far as we've heard, Orgeron didn't. Fisher didn't. Franklin didn't. Why would Kelley?
They will pay him the buyout or they will keep him as their HC [stifles laugh]. I've read that the buyout is in monthly installments through 2031. If true, that mitigates the pain a little bit. But it still stings. It's kind of like alimony approaching $750K / month.
Kelley might be willing to accept a single payout in lieu of a bunch of installments. But at today's interest rates, the difference wouldn't be all that much. Or maybe a single payment with no obligation to look for another job.
Regardless, they'll likely have pay the buyout of the incoming coach.
LSU is between a rock and a hard place of their own making, and doesn't have the resources to just throw money at the problem. Poor guys. And yes, Woodward has some 'splainin to do.

I heard the Sarkisian rumor from a friend in Texas a few hours ago...and he doesn't deal in rumor mongering.
