LSU offensive coordinator Steve Kragthorpe’s new contract, along with four others, will be presented for approval to the LSU Board of Supervisors on March 4, the athletic department announced Thursday.
Kragthorpe, who was hired Jan. 20 to succeed Gary Crowton, would earn $700,000 annually for three years. In addition, raises for defensive line coach Brick Haley, offensive line coach Greg Studrawa, tight ends coach Steve Ensminger and strength coach Tommy Moffitt will also be proposed.
Haley would bump up from $340,000 to $380,000, Studrawa from $230,000 to $275,000 and Ensminger from $170,000 to $190,000. Moffitt, who was courted by Tennessee last month, has a proposed promotion that would make him assistant athletic director and increase his pay from $215,000 to $300,000.
“When a football program is as successful as LSU has been under Les Miles, other schools will come calling on your staff members,” said Joe Alleva, vice chancellor and director of athletics. “Consistency in a staff is a key ingredient to sustained success and Coach [Les] Miles has done a wonderful job of keeping a consistent coaching staff. These salary adjustments will help us maintain that success.”
