LSU is spending a combined $595,000 on the 10 analysts — many of them new — on coach Ed Orgeron’s staff.
The coach got approval from administrators this offseason to add to his off-the-field staff, doubling the number of analysts from the previous year, Orgeron said in an interview earlier this spring. The analysts/consultants include five on offense and five on defense.
The analysts are “at will” employees, meaning they are not under contract. Their salaries were provided to The Advocate by the school via a public records request.
The offensive analysts include ex-UL-Lafayette assistant Jorge Munoz ($70,000), former offensive coordinator Steve Kragthorpe ($60,000), Brad Kragthorpe ($50,000), Blaine Gautier ($48,500) and former NFL assistant Donovan Jackson ($30,000).
