The 58-year-old from Larose, Louisiana was hired, after an interim spell to end the 2016 season, with one of the lowest salaries in the SEC at $3.5 million.

He earned an increase to $4 million after last year’s 10-3 finish and Fiesta Bowl victory over undefeated Central Florida.

“He is well-deserving of this new contract,” LSU athletic director Scott Woodward said, “which should make clear our commitment to Coach O and the direction of our football program.”
