LSU and head coach Ed Orgeron are working toward a contract extension after going 10-3 this past season, a source told ESPN.
The Times-Picayune was first to report the potential extension, which is still in the process of being finalized.
LSU’s board of supervisors, which would have to approve the contract, does not meet again until March 15.
Orgeron, 57, was named the team’s interim coach in 2016 upon Les Miles’ firing and was installed on a permanent basis the following offseason. A Louisiana native, he has posted a 25-9 record overall in Baton Rouge.
The Tigers, which were picked to finish fifth in the SEC West this past season, instead finished second behind conference champion Alabama. The team won the PlayStation Fiesta Bowl, beating UCF, 40-32.
Orgeron’s current contract, which runs through 2021, pays him $3.5 million per year.
LSU, which returns starting quarterback Joe Burrow, opens next season at home on Aug. 31 against Georgia Southern before going on the road to Texas the following weekend.
