A salary adjustment is being proposed for LSU football defensive coordinator John Chavis and approvals are being sought for new football assistant coaches Billy Gonzales and Frank Wilson.
Chavis, who was pursued by another Southeastern Conference school in December, will receive a new three-year contract valued at $700,000 per year. Under the terms of his previous contract, he was scheduled to be paid $475,000 in 2010 and $500,000 in 2011. Under the terms of the new contract, Chavis will receive $25,000 for radio, television and internet appearances and the $175,000 will be paid in privately-raised funds.
Wilson, who will serve as running backs coach and recruiting coordinator, will receive a three-year contract worth $325,000 per year. He replaces Larry Porter, now the head coach at the University of Memphis, who was to be paid $350,000 in 2010 and $400,000 in 2011.
Gonzales, who will serve as receivers coach and passing game coordinator, will receive a three-year contract worth $285,000 per year. He replaces DJ McCarthy who resigned following the 2009 season and was receiving $200,000 per year.
According to a study by USA Today, LSU is one of only two universities in the nation that uses no state financial support to fund its athletics program.
