Contract Details Revealed For New LSU Baseball Coach Jay Johnson

New LSU Baseball coach Jay Johnson has reportedly signed a six-year contract worth $6.5 million total before incentives, according to The Advocate.

Johnson, who earned $856,687 last season at Arizona, will now make $1.2 million a year and his salary will increase by $50,000 increments until he earns $1.4 million the final year of the deal.

Former LSU coach Paul Mainieri was making $1.225 million per year before incentives.

Johnson, whose contract included $750,000 to help cover his buyout at Arizona, can make an additional $20,000 for winning a Southeastern Conference championship and $100,000 for a national championship, among other postseason bonuses.

If LSU terminates the contract without cause before the deal ends, the school will owe Johnson the remainder of his salary. It won’t have to pay Johnson if it fires him with cause. Should Johnson leave before the end of the contract, he will owe 50% of the rest of his annual salary.
