Houston football and head coach Dana Holgorsen have verbally agreed to a multi-year contract extension, as first reported by The Athletic on Saturday morning.
This extension comes after Holgorsen led the Cougars to the program’s third-ever 12-win season in 2021, capped off by a victory over Auburn in the Birmingham Bowl.
Holgorsen is currently under contract through 2023, set to earn $4.2 million in 2022 and $4.3 million in 2023. His contract stipulates that he and UH would rework his deal if the school were to accept an invitation to a Power Five conference, which Houston did when it agreed to join the Big 12 last year.
