LSU football staff of assistants to earn nearly $6.5 million in 2018: contracts

The LSU football staff of 10 assistant coaches will earn $6.425 million in 2018, according to employment contracts released by the school.

That amount is roughly 10 percent higher than the $5.83 million LSU's nine on-field assistants earned in 2017.

The school announced the hiring of safeties coach Bill Busch in February, and the school posted the terms of his two-year contract that pays a $375,000 annual salary in the agenda for the Board of Supervisors meeting set for Friday.

Busch is one of four newcomers to the LSU staff for 2018, joining offensive line coach James Cregg ($475,000), senior offensive assistant Jerry Sullivan ($450,000) and special teams coordinator Greg McMahon ($375,000).
