By Amie Just, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune LSU head football coach Ed Orgeron will receive a contract extension, an LSU senior official confirmed to NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune on Wednesday afternoon (Jan. 30). The official said details of the contract extension are being finalized. Orgeron’s current contract, which guarantees him $3.5 million annually, runs through 2021. The current contract is also loaded with $1.5 million in incentive bonuses. Orgeron cashed in on the $150,000 incentive for getting LSU to a New Year’s Six bowl game. LSU and former coach Les Miles settled on a $1.5 million one-time lump sum payment in November. Before the university and Miles reached the settlement, LSU still owed Miles $6.5 million from the buyout following his 2016 firing. As it stands, Orgeron is the 36th highest paid college football coach in the country. SEC coaches who make more than Orgeron are Alabama’s Nick Saban, Texas A&M’s Jimbo Fisher, Auburn’s Gus Malzahn, Georgia’s Kirby Smart, Florida’s Dan Mullen, South Carolina’s Will Muschamp, Kentucky’s Mark Stoops and Tennessee’s Jeremy Pruitt. Orgeron takes home the same amount of guaranteed pay as Arkansas' Chad Morris. Orgeron led LSU to a 10-3 record in 2018, the Tigers best year since the 2013 season. Since he took the reins as interim head coach in 2016, LSU has a 25-9 record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishhead Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Wonder if he did something stupid with the buyout? I couldn't care less about the extension, but hope he didn't make the same mistake he did with Miles' contract Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
