Hiring LSU’s next football coach will be the most important hire in the history of the school’s athletic program. LSU won’t finish paying Ed Orgeron’s $17 million buyout until December after firing him during the 2021 season. It could be paying Kelly’s buyout through 2031, to the tune of about $740,000 per month.
Sources: LSU and AD Scott Woodward are expected to separate in the near future. This move comes in the wake of Gov. Jeff Landry’s criticism of Woodward and declaring he wouldn’t make the hire in the football coaching search.
