""As you know, there is absolutely no basis to LSU's contrived positions that Coach Kelly was not terminated or that cause existed for such termination," the letter, which was obtained by ESPN, reads. "LSU's conduct, including its failure to confirm that Coach Kelly was terminated without cause and its unsupported allegations of misconduct on the part of Coach Kelly, has made it nearly impossible for Coach Kelly to secure other football-related employment.""
""LSU's conduct continues to harm Coach Kelly, particularly during this critical hiring period. LSU declined comment, as it is part of an ongoing legal matter. The LSU board of supervisors voted Friday to allow new president Wade Rousse to formally terminate Kelly. The board did not give an indication of whether the firing was going to be for cause or without cause.""
Attorneys for Brian Kelly informed LSU that the school's claim it had not formally terminated Kelly has made it nearly impossible for him to obtain other coaching jobs. The letter, sent Nov. 18 to LSU athletic director Verge Ausberry and board member John H. Carmouche, states Kelly reserves all rights to seek any and all damages permitted by law for interference with potential job candidacies. The letter alleges LSU failed to confirm a termination without cause and made unsupported allegations of misconduct. LSU declined comment due to the ongoing legal matter. Kelly was initially relieved Oct. 26 after a loss that left the team 5-3.
