One day after announcing that he was staying at LSU, Les Miles has inked a new contract. The deal will run through the 2017 season. However — no doubt influenced by LSU’s budget woes — Miles’ pay will not increase.

At $3.75 million per season, he’ll probably get by.

The new pact extends Miles’ ties to LSU past the 2014 season laid out in his previous deal. And additional performance bonuses have been added into the mix.

Speaking with the media today, Miles said, “It was always more about the tenure — for me — than the pay and the annual salary.”

“Certainly it was important that I visit with my alma mater. Certainly I wish Michigan the very best… but I’m an LSU Tiger, and I will be an LSU Tiger for quite some time.”
