Past LSU Coach Salaries

IIRC, Hallman was very cheap, as was DiNardo. In the 400k range maybe....Joe Dean was Mr. El Cheapo


Saban blew the bank up. Again IIRC he was the first or close to first Million Dollar a year head coach. He was top 5 salary when they hired him. Read something about joe Dean telling Emmert that "we don't need to offer a million, he'll come here for less"...Emmert said pay the man

Charley Mac was paid between $37,000 and $42,000. Things have definitely changed over the years.

Does anyone know how much Hallman and Dinardo made at LSU

IDK, but here is what Arnsparger's salary was:

Arnsparger was an integral part of two Super Bowl championship teams when Brodhead selected him to replace Jerry Stovall in 1984.

Although Miami offered him a $1-million-per-year contract to stay with the Dolphins, Arnsparger, then nearly 57 years old, was smitten enough with the idea of coaching the Tigers that he was lured to LSU for $150,000 a year ($80,000 in salary, $70,000 in radio and TV shows).

To put that $150,000 into perspective:

---

$150,000.00 in 1984 had the same buying power as $347,697.93 in 2015.

Annual inflation over this period was 2.75%.

Coaching salaries have come a LONG way over the last 30 years
