LSUDad Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Source: LSU in contract negotiations with assistant coach Joe Brady BY BROOKS KUBENA | STAFF WRITER PUBLISHED NOV 9, 2019 AT 10:04 PM | UPDATED NOV 9, 2019 AT 10:25 PM Buy Now LSU passing game coordinator Joe Brady looks over the receiving corps during warmups before the first half of LSU's football game against Florida at Tiger Stadium Saturday Oct. 12, 2019, in Baton Rouge, La. STAFF PHOTO BY BILL FEIG Brooks Kubena LSU and assistant football coach Joe Brady are working on details for a new contract, according to a source familiar with the situation. The negotiation could result in the long-term retention of the 30-year-old coach, who in his first season has played a major role in the success of the Tigers' record-setting offense. The news was first reported by Yahoo Sports. Brady signed a three-year contract Feb. 3 with LSU. The deal pays him $410,000 per year in his first year, $435,000 in his second and $460,000 in his final season until the contract expires March 31, 2022. Any new contract would need approval from the LSU Board of Supervisors, which next meets Dec. 6. Brady is the seventh-highest-paid assistant on Ed Orgeron's staff, which includes 10 coaches. Brady's current annual salary ranks outside the top 200 assistants nationally, according to USA Today's collected data of 2018 salaries. Defensive coordinator Dave Aranda's $2.5 million per year ranks first nationally among assistant coaches, and in May, offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger signed a two-year, $800,000-per-year contract with LSU that expires March 31, 2021. LSU's offensive success has helped propel the Tigers to a No. 2 ranking in the initial College Football Playoff rankings, which were released Tuesday. LSU (9-0, 6-0 Southeastern Conference) pulled off a 46-41 win over No. 3 Alabama (8-1, 5-1 SEC) at Bryant-Denny Stadium on Saturday night. Orgeron called Brady "a game-changer" when formally announcing the hire in February, and he hired Brady to retool LSU's offense in tandem with Ensminge,r using the West Coast and run-pass-option schemes he learned while an assistant with the New Orleans Saints and Penn State. The results have been substantial. LSU ranks fourth nationally, scoring 46.8 points per game — nearly two touchdowns more than what the Tigers averaged in 2018 (32.4). LSU ranks fourth nationally in total offense (535.9 yards per game) and fifth in yards per play (7.55), and quarterback Joe Burrow is a front-runner to win the program's first Heisman Trophy since Billy Cannon in 1959. The 6-foot-4, 216-pound Burrow is on pace to break every single-season passing record in school history. Orgeron has regularly praised Brady's work with Ensminger, and after LSU's 42-28 win over Florida, the head coach subtly spoke of his interest to retain Brady. "It's an offense here to stay right now in Baton Rouge," Orgeron said on Oct. 16. "We've got to keep the same coaches, get a great quarterback, get great receivers and the offensive line's got to play well." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted November 10, 2019 Author Share Posted November 10, 2019 LSU officials engaged Joe Brady about contract extension, raise: report Julie Boudwin • TigerDetails @Julie_Boudwin The 2019 version of the "Game of the Century" certainly lived up to the hype, especially for LSU fans with the Tigers beating Alabama, 46-41, and ending an eight-game losing streak to the Crimson Tide. And Joe Brady is a big key in the Tigers coming out on top Saturday. Brady has been one of the hottest names in the college football world the last few months for the new offense he's put in place at LSU. Yahoo Sports' Pete Thamel reportedafter the Alabama game that LSU officials have engaged Brady about a contract extension and raise during LSU's bye week. The report says the Tigers are prepared to pay Brady "NFL coordinator market value – think in the neighborhood of $1.5 million – and could have a deal by the end of the regular season." Brady's current contract is worth $400,000 and runs until 2022. Brady spent the past two seasons as an offensive assistant for the New Orleans Saints, and before that was a graduate assistant at Penn State.

dachsie Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I've seen a couple of tweets that a deal has been reached but haven't seen anything official. I hope they are correct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Who knows what is going on behind the scenes, however, Coach O addressed the issue yesterday: Quote Asked if he was confident in being able to retain Joe Brady and what that might entail, here’s what Orgeron said: “You know, this is Joe’s first full-time job. And I do believe he’s very loyal to LSU, I do believe he likes what’s going on at LSU, and obviously we’re going to compete to keep him. A guy like that is going to have opportunities, but we’re going to compete as best that we can to keep him. All those things are going to happen after the season. Joe’s worried about breaking down Ole Piss’s coverages right now so he’s not even thinking about that stuff. But after the season, we have coaches that are going to get chances to go elsewhere, but the ones that we want to keep we’re going to fight like heck to keep them.” Dandydon.com 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fine with whatever it takes to keep Brady. i agree wholeheartedly we need to keep him. however, $1.8mil for 4years ... i would like to have seen him do this more than once before throwing THAT much at him. like O said, this is his first full time job ever. So we have zero clue if this is normal or a flash in the pan. but like everyone else here has said, this season has definitely earned the guy a raise (and a promotion IMO).

Fishhead Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 Either we pay up or someone else would. I thought it was nuts, but he was on the list when FSU fired Taggart...for HC! Pay the man. I get what you're saying though. Just can't overlook the fact that LSU is an offensive juggernaut the likes of which we've never seen. 80% completion has a lot to do with Joe, but c'mon. This is Brady Ball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FSU looking at him as a HC is just dumb on their part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
