LSU and athletic director Scott Woodward are finalizing his separation from the school in the wake of coach Brian Kelly's firing and criticism from Gov. Jeff Landry, sources confirmed Thursday night to The Advocate.
If LSU fires Kelly, his buyout requires the program to pay 90% of his salary through the remainder of his contract, which would be $52.3 million if he is fired after the season. If a move is made during the season, that would add 90% of the remaining $9.4 million he's owed for this season.
