We all knew this would happen, more schools following suit in the salaries of Head Coaches... Miles ahead of Saban Associated Press 03-15-2008 NEW ORLEANS - LSU will make Les Miles the highest-paid head football coach in the Southeastern Conference under a renegotiated five-year contract agreement signed Friday. Miles will earn at least $3.75 million plus $1,000 a year in a deal that nudges him ahead of Alabama coach Nick Saban and makes Miles one of 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 must approve the deal and is scheduled to take up the matter at its April meeting. Saban, who is guaranteed $3.75 million, was the SEC's highest-paid coach. Miles' new contract states that he will be paid no less than the highest-paid coach at a public university in the conference, plus $1,000. Miles' initial contract extension through 2012, which he agreed to in December, called for him to earn no less than the third-highest salary among all NCAA football coaches nationwide. Lamonica said that if another SEC coach receives a subsequent raise that's higher than what Miles earns, and if Miles then wins another BCS title, Miles would be entitled to another raise to again make him the highest-paid coach in the conference.
