As part of Orgeron’s amended contract, he will receive $500,000 through the end of the regular season and $149,000 for the month of December. Then, he’ll receive a $25,000 bonus if LSU plays in a bowl..
Also on Thursday, the Board approved a salary increase for LSU men’s and women’s track head coach Dennis Shaver. The men’s team won the 2021 NCAA outdoors national championship last June.
