The deal is done: LSU and former offensive coordinator Matt Canada have mutually separated.
The school and Canada reached a financial settlement Friday regarding the multi-million dollar buyout he’s owed, ending a strained relationship between the assistant and his one-time head coach.
Multiple people involved in the negotiations confirmed the news to The Advocate on Friday.
Canada agreed to part ways with the program for about half of the $3.3 million he was owed. He’ll receive roughly $1.7 million in buyout money, a resolution reached by the two sides Friday night after day-long negotiations Thursday.
