Aranda's deal will pay him $2.5 million through the 2021 season and the increase comes solely in Aranda's supplemental media compensation. His base salary remains $500,000 while the compensation increases to $2 million.

Aranda's contract calls for him to pay LSU 40 percent of the remaining money on the deal if he takes a defensive coordinator position within 500 miles of LSU and 15 percent of the remaining money if he takes a similar position 500 miles from LSU.

There is no penalty at all if Aranda takes a college head coaching position or if he takes any position in the NFL.
