LSU just re-upped on defensive coordinator Dave Aranda's deal to keep him with the team and he is about to make a whole lot of dough. His original contract that he signed in January was paying him $1.3 million, but now he not only gets an increase, but an added job title of associate head coach.

That's pretty insane and he seems to be worth it as this past season's defense was ranked No. 6 in scoring defense (17 points a game) and No. 13 in total defense allowing 323 total yards a game. Aranda's new deal runs for three years and it is believed that it will make him the highest paid coordinator in the country.
