LSU men’s basketball coach Trent Johnson is on his way out.
Johnson reportedly informed Athletic Director Joe Alleva that he is leaving LSU to take the same position at Texas Christian University, according to reports from ESPN Dallas and SB Nation.
WAFB reports Johnson will receive an $800,000 raise, bringing his total pay to about $2 million.
An official announcement is slated to come Monday, according to the Fort-Worth Star Telegram.
Johnson has served as the Tigers’ head coach since April 2008. Prior to that, he coached at Stanford University and the University of Nevada.
