One Kaare Johnson is reporting that Kelly took a huge cut in his buyout due to a Morals clause. Is this at all credible?

today I learned that Kaare was still alive and apparently reporting stuff.
I haven't heard his name in a long, long time.
No clue how true that is.
the fact that multiple sources reported there was a "negotiation" with Kelly about the buyout, tells me SOMETHING is there.
apparently not nearly enough for him to be fired with cause.
but something at least big enough for LSU to seek a negotiation.

And Kelly not wanting to be made public. There’s lots of speculation on the internet about that.
I remember this from a few years ago. Don't know what happened, and it is not immoral to get a divorce, but...........
"In early 2023, LSU coach Brian Kelly filed for divorce from his wife, Paqui Kelly, but he later sought to dismiss the case, and their children denied the divorce rumors, stating the couple is "doing just fine". Reports of the initial filing claimed Kelly had sought a temporary restraining order to protect assets, and a hearing was set to determine temporary use of the marital home. Ultimately, the filing was withdrawn, and the family denied the divorce story, calling the initial reports "fake news". "

This is from Jacques Doucet, not some hack reporter.
From a source I trust, this is what I was told about LSU Football firing head coach Brian Kelly.
The powers that be met with Kelly Sunday morning. There was no discussion about assistants. Kelly was told he was out, period. LSU was moving on without him.
Kelly's buyout was negotiated down to $27 million, about half of what he was owed. This was done through the violation of morality clauses in his contract.
Louisiana governor Jeff Landry met with the LSU Board of Supervisors before Kelly's firing. Landry did not invite LSU athletic director Scott Woodward to this meeting

So far, every report I’ve seen cites this tweet as its source.
Doucet is one of the ones who appears to be quoting this tweet as his source.
Edit: well, no he’s not. This is a paraphrase of Johnson’s post, and he doesn’t cite it. I was looking at a Reddit post that conflated them.
