ALTOONA, Pa. -- Outgoing LSU coach Ed Orgeron is getting $9 million this season, making him the second-highest paid coach in college football behind Alabama's Nick Saban ($9.75 million).
Now, money isn't everything, but in terms of college football money, LSU is a spectacular job.
James Franklin is making more than $6 million at Penn State. So, if he were to get the LSU job, he undoubtedly would receive a big raise. He would make a lot more money, one would think, than if he leaves for the USC job.
