CFB: LSU's Miles to get $3.75 million a year

Associated Press

BATON ROUGE, La. — LSU officials have agreed to pay football coach Les Miles at least $3.75 million a year for five years, part of a renegotiated contract deal after the Tigers won the national championship.

The contract change will ensure Miles is among the top paid college football coaches in the nation. He also is eligible to receive more money each year, depending on the team's performance on the field and in the classroom.

The contract adjustment was signed Friday by Miles and LSU system president John Lombardi. The university system's governing board also must agree to the deal.
