Orgeron’s run to a national championship in Baton Rouge paid off greatly at the end of the 2019 season when he signed a six-year, $42 million extension, increasing his $4 million annual pay to nearly $9 million for 2020. Orgeron is 40-9 during his tenure with the Tigers, including 11 wins in his last 12 games against Top 10 opponents. Orgeron has improved LSU’s team every year since taking over for Les Miles and the power brass believes he is the guy to keep it going at the top of the SEC. Orgeron has been a member of LSU’s staff since January 2015, when he was hired as defensive line coach. He was named interim head coach in September 2016 following the university’s decision to fire Miles and the rest is history.
