Les Miles has a new seven-year contract at LSU that also will result in a pay raise for one of the most successful coaches in the history of the Tigers’ football program.

“I’m a LSU head coach and will be a LSU head coach for as long as I can be,” Miles said Wednesday. “Hopefully, we’ll look up seven years from now and I’ll be looking for another seven-year extension.”

The new contract runs through 2019, which amounts to a two-year extension. LSU athletic director Joe Alleva said financial details were still being worked out and will be released after LSU plays in a still-undecided bowl game to close out this season.

A person familiar with the contract said that Miles’ new annual pay would be in the range of $4.3 million. The person spoke on condition of anonymity.

Miles’ previous contract paid about $3.75 million annually through 2017.

Navy QB still in coma

Navy quarterback Ralph “Rafi” Montalvo, a third-string freshman, remained in a medically induced coma at a hospital in his hometown of Miami after suffering a severe head injury in a one-car accident on Thanksgiving.

Montalvo, who recently was promoted to No. 3 on the depth chart but has not played a snap this season, was scheduled to fly out of Miami last Thursday night on his way back to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. But when he learned his flight had been delayed, he and a friend, the driver, decided to get something to eat.

According to the Baltimore Sun, the driver turned one street too early in foggy conditions, became disoriented and drove the car into a home at the end of the street. Both occupants of the car were rushed to a local hospital and placed in medically induced comas.
