Jay Jacobs and Gus Malzahn have added an extra year to Gus' current contract.
With questions about his job security following 2016 being asked, Jay Jacobs and Gus Malzahn tried to put a damper on any negative talk and added an extra season to Malzahn's Auburn contract, today.
James Crepea of AL.com has the major details of what exactly it means. It really doesn't sound like the contract changed much at all with the exception of adding the extra year in 2020. The buyout remains the same, although I guess technically it's gone up a bit more to what it would have been if Auburn had fired Gus last season since they added an extra year.
