Not necessarily.
"LSU could also fire Kelly without having to buy his assistants out of their contracts. All coaches on his staff signed deals with clauses that free the athletic department from paying the full cost of their buyouts, whether Kelly is no longer LSU’s head coach or if they leave the program to take other jobs."

Here's how much LSU would owe Brian Kelly if it fires him after Year 4 of his tenure
Wondering what Brian Kelly's buyout looks like after LSU's loss to Texas A&M? Here's everything you need to know. Our LSU football coverage is brought to you in part by The Baton Rouge Clinic.www.nola.com
This could also lend credence to the rumor he offered up his staff to save himself because there were rumors and reporting earlier in the day that some guys on the offensive side were being let go. If they are planning on firing Kelly, it makes sense to not let him do that because then they have to pay the full buyout as opposed to none or a lesser amount if it happens after they fire Kelly.
I would bet a lot of money that reporter is confused. Those are 2 different things with different buyouts.
