Mississippi State and coach Mike Leach have reached an agreement on a two-year contract extension, according to the Clarion Ledger. ESPN confirmed the news of a new deal that ties Leach to the program through the 2025 season.
Leach has completed two years of his initial four-year deal with the Bulldogs, with which he earns roughly $5 million annually. The extension will give him a raise and he’ll now make $5.5 million per year.
State law caps the length of contracts for state employees to just four years. Leach has an 11–13 record since he joined Mississippi State in 2020.
