Already set to earn about $1.25 million to lead the LSU baseball program this season, Jay Johnson will pick up some extra money for taking the Tigers to the College World Series.

Johnson earned a $50,000 incentive bonus Sunday night when LSU defeated Kentucky in the Baton Rouge super regional, clinching a spot in the College World Series.

The second-year coach can earn another $100,000 if the Tigers advance to the CWS best-of-three finals, and yet another $100,000 if they take home the national championship.

Johnson had already earned $60,000 in bonuses this postseason — $20,000 for taking LSU to the regionals and $40,000 for hosting the super regional. (The super regional bonus would have been $25,000 had LSU played on the road.)

All told, Johnson’s total postseason bonus package could climb as high as $260,000.
