Orgeron’s new contract began on Jan. 14 2020 and expires Dec. 31, 2025.

Orgeron’s buyout equals out to 70% of the salary remaining on the entire contract. If LSU were to terminate Orgeron’s contract in the first year, his buyout would be about $27 million; in the second year, about $21 million; in the third, $16.8 million; in the fourth, $12.6 million; in the fifth, $8.4 million; and in the final year, $4.2 million.

In total, the contract is worth $41 million before bonuses.
