The $54 Million Standoff Between Brian Kelly and LSU

Brian Kelly, LSU
About those receipts . . .

In his Nov. 9, 2025 article for theadvocate.com, Wilson Alexander provides a clear account of the standoff between former LSU football coach Brian Kelly and LSU over a $54 million buyout.

Key Details

Alexander bases the piece on a Nov. 5 letter from Kelly’s attorneys to LSU athletic director Verge Ausberry and board member John Carmouche. The letter includes the following demands:

  • Written confirmation by 5 p.m. the following Monday (November 10)
  • Assurance that the university will “fulfill its contractual obligation” to pay Kelly in full

The letter warns that if LSU does not comply, Kelly “will pursue all available legal remedies.”
