LSU will spend at least $17.5 million to pay its new football coaching staff in 2022.

It's a number that will only increase, as all of the staff's salaries are set to escalate after the 2022 season. And depending on how successful the Tigers are, bonuses would be triggered that would make the price tag even higher.

All contracts were obtained through a public records request made by USA TODAY Sports.

Brian Kelly

In spurning Notre Dame for Baton Rouge, new coach Brian Kelly has signed a 10-year, $95 million deal, the largest public-school college football contract in history.

LSU will spend $9 million for the first year of the deal, $9.2 million the following two and then at least $9.4 million each year for the remainder of the contract. Kelly is projected to make $10 million in the final year and can earn an extra $500,000 if LSU qualifies for a bowl game. He can also receive that amount if LSU wins the national championship.
