Les Miles, LSU Agree To Seven-Year Contract Extension

On the heels of Michigan’s failed attempt to woo Les Miles, the “Michigan Man” has agreed in principle to a new seven-year contract with LSU.

The new agreement would include enhanced opportunities for additional compensation for championships and post-season accomplishments and would include no rollover provisions. Miles' annual compensation will remain at $3.751 million per year.

"We are pleased to reach an agreement that will keep Les Miles as the leader of our football program for many years to come," said Alleva. "Les is one of the winningest coaches in the country over the last six years and his players perform well both in the classroom and in the community. It is important to maintain stability in a program and this contract will help LSU remain a premier football program. We are glad Les, Kathy and their family will remain a part of the Baton Rouge community."

Miles is 62-17 in six seasons as head coach of the Tigers. That includes a 5-1 record in bowl games and the 2007 National Title.
