Former LSU head coach Brian Kelly has appeared a potential candidate for the opening at Michigan after Sherrone Moore was fired.

Apparently, there's at least one major candidate who can be crossed off the list when it comes to Michigan's coaching search. On Wednesday afternoon, Michigan fired Sherrone Moore for having an "inappropriate relationship with a staff member.

Amid all the chaos that has taken place in the last 24 hours since Sherrone Moore‘s firing for cause and subsequent arrest Wednesday evening, where Michigan football turns next has taken a bit of a back seat.

Another athlete enters the transfer portal a month after Lane Kiffin joins LSU, with Brian Kelly’s son surprisingly reacting positively.

LSU has sent former coach Brian Kelly formal written notice that he was fired without cause, according to a letter obtained by The Advocate on Wednesday, and now it plans to pay his full $54 million buyout as long as he tries to land another job.

LSU told former head coach Brian Kelly that they fired him without cause, thus owing him the remaining $54 million owed on his contract.

Kelly would withdraw his lawsuit once LSU confirms he was fired without cause and meets 'its contractual obligations,' his attorneys said.

Wilson Alexander of The Advocate reported that won't be the case for much longer, as Orgeron's final buyout payment of $426,000 will be paid out on Dec. 15. Still, LSU is paying out quite a significant amount of money for its coaching situation following its 7-5 season.
