Lane Kiffin to Make $13 Million Salary, Ties Kirby Smart
New LSU head coach Lane Kiffin will make $13 million annually with his new contract in Baton Rouge, tying him with Georgia head coach Kirby Smart for the highest-paid coach in college football. LSU would owe him 80% of his remaining contract if he is fired without cause. The 50-year-old officially accepted the Tigers' coaching gig on Sunday after leading Ole Miss to a program-record 11 regular-season wins in 2025. Overall, Kiffin tallied a 55-19 record in Oxford, including four seasons of at least 10 wins and three bowl-game victories. The son of the late Monte Kiffin is known for his explosive offenses and strong personality, and he'll have no shortage of resources and in-state talent to chase a College Football Playoff National Championship in his fifth head-coaching position in college football.
