Memphis Head Coach Mike Norvell Signs Extension, Gives His Raise to Assistants

Memphis Head Coach Mike Norvell Signs Extension, Gives His Raise to Assistants

Memphis football fell off the national radar for many college football fans after the departure of head coach Justin Fuente and quarterback Paxton Lynch. Those fans made a big, big mistake.

Despite losing Fuente — who transformed a program that won five total games in the three years before he arrive into one that won 19 in his final two season — to Virginia Tech and Lynch — a three-year starter who threw for 59 touchdowns and nearly 9,000 yards — to the NFL, the Tigers won eight games, ranked 15th nationally scoring average and reached a third-straight bowl game for the second time program history.

Mike Norvell, a 35-year-old first-time head coach, and Riley Ferguson, a first-time starting quarterback, led the charge in ensuring there wasn't a drop-off following the losses of Fuente and Lynch. And on Friday, Norvell was rewarded with a one-year extension on his contract, through the 2021 season.

Per usual, the extension came with a raise. However, Norvell opted to give the raise amount, $250,000, to his assistants, the school said in a release.

"This is a part of our continual commitment and support for Coach Norvell and his staff for the incredible work they do building our football program and leading our student-athletes," said Tom Bowen, Memphis athletics director.

If Norvell has another good season, it's reasonable to assume Bowen will be fielding interview requests from other programs, if he hasn't already.
