Ross Bjork and the Athletics Department announced Wednesday that Freeze, his assistant coaches, and other strength and conditioning support staffs will see salary increases in 2016.
Following Ole Miss football's second-straight New Year's Six appearance and fourth bowl game in as many years under coach Hugh Freeze, Athletics Director Ross Bjork announced a contract extension of one year for the Rebel front man. The increased contract signs Freeze on for four more years, the maximum-length contract allowable for state employees in Mississippi.
Coach's base salary thus rises from $4.3 million per year to $4.7 million with increases of $150,000 every year after 2016.
