Lane Kiffin's possible salary package from LSU could exceed $98 million
Should he take the offer from LSU, Kiffin would for a moment become the highest-paid coach in college football
LSU prepares robust term sheet in efforts to woo Lane Kiffin: Seven years and up to $98 million, plus bonuses
Should he take the offer from LSU, Kiffin would for a moment become the highest-paid coach in college football
LSU is preparing one of the richest contracts in college football history in an attempt to lure Ole Miss coach Lane Kiffin to Baton Rouge, a person familiar with the discussions tells CBS Sports.The deal is believed to be for seven years and worth as much as $98 million, the source said, and includes a significant promise that would make LSU competitive in revenue sharing and NIL, the source said. A formal offer has not yet been made. Kiffin is expected to make a decision on his future after next Friday's Egg Bowl against rival Mississippi State, Ole Miss athletics director Keith Carter said Friday.
A seven-year deal averaging $14 million per year would make Kiffin the highest-paid coach in college football. Georgia's Kirby Smart entered the 2025 season with an annual salary of $13.3 million. Brian Kelly, the former LSU coach, was fired during the fourth year of a 10-year, $95 million contract.
State laws in Louisiana complicate high-paying contracts for university employees, so LSU's contract is expected to include "easy-to-achieve" incentive bonuses, a source said. LSU's base salary will probably be capped at just north of $3 million with additional money coming from outside sources and incentives. Additional bonuses could push the lifetime value of the current offer above the $98 million threshold.
Just sayin': Anyone surprised that LSU has no problem with skirting the intent of the state of Louisiana laws?......
Highest coaches salary, 7 year contract, and generous availability of NIL money; needless to say since Lane Kiffin has never been loyal to any school, it is undoubtedly a done deal, he's going to LSU.
