One of the most successful coaches in college football just got a huge extension

He definitely deserved it.

After being at the top of the LSU coaching search for so many weeks, Florida State's Jimbo Fisher will be sticking with the Seminoles for a long time. The head coach got a new contract extension and pay raise that will have him at the school through 2024 and earning $5.5 million, up from his previous $5.25 million.

There's also potential to make even more money with incentives as USA Today's Steve Berkowitz found out:

Fisher has won a National Championship while at FSU, beating Auburn in the last BCS Championship in 2013. Fisher's overall record at the school is 77-17 in seven years and he will be leading the Seminoles into their fifth straight BCS/New Year's Six bowl game.
