New football coach Brian Kelly and LSU agreed to a deal that made him the highest paid coach at a public university in the country, according to a term sheet obtained Tuesday night by The Advocate through a public records request.

While Kelly’s contract will pay him $95 million total in base salary, a longevity bonus will push his total compensation to at least $100 million over the life of the 10-year contract, which made him the first coach at a public school with a nine-figure deal.

Kelly’s salary will start at $9 million per year his first season. It then rises in increments through 2031. The contract, which Kelly signed Tuesday on his way to Baton Rouge, needs approval from the LSU board of supervisors and is pending a background check.
