Pelini will not make that much.
Despite this being his second go-round at LSU, Pelini will be making $2.3 million annually with the Tigers.
“A source said Pelini agreed to a three-year contract worth $2.3 million per year, a figure just under the $2.5 million LSU was paying his predecessor, Dave Aranda, who left Baton Rouge to be the head coach at Baylor,” reported The Advocate.
“Such a payment would make Pelini the second highest-paid assistant in the nation, below Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele, who just signed a new $2.5 million per year deal.”
Pelini previously spent two years with LSU under Les Miles in 2005. He departed in 2007 to become the head coach at Nebraska, going 67-27 in in his seven seasons there.
After his run with the Huskers, Pelini became the head coach at Youngstown State. There he earned $400,000 annually.
