Kansas has extended the contract of football coach Lance Leipold by a year, sources told ESPN.
Leipold's first season was highlighted by a win at Texas, as the Jayhawks went 2-10 and showed tangible signs of progress.
Leipold was hired in late April 2021, taking over one of the most challenging situations in college football last season in the wake of a winless 2020 campaign and the turmoil left behind from the departure of Les Miles.
The extension brings Leipold through the 2027 football season, and he'll make $3.5 million in the final year of the deal.
