The school
granted an extension for Holgorsen last month, and now
The Athletic's Sam Khan, Jr.,
reports that deal adds four years to the coach's original deal, which expired in 2023.
Holgorsen, who signed the deal last week, is now under contract through 2027. The extension keeps his original salary structure in place; he'll make $4.2 million in 2022 with annual $100,000 raises, topping him out at $4.7 million in '27.
Additionally, Houston has made a major commitment to its assistant coaches salary pool. The school will immediately give Holgorsen another million to spend, moving from $4.5 million to $5.5 million, and will add another million on top of that within six months of joining the Big 12. The Cougars immediately put that money to use, bumping defensive coordinator Doug Belk to $1 million a year,
doubling his 2021 salary. Houston will join the Big 12 no later than 2024, with eyes on the '23 season.
