Gus Malzahn has agreed to a new seven-year deal to stay with Auburn, Brandon Marcello of 247 sports reports.
Malzahn has been at Auburn since 2013 and has gone 45-21 over five seasons. The Tigers are 10-3 this year and heading to the Chick-Fil-A Peach Bowl after losing to Georgia in the SEC Championship Game Saturday. After the game, Malzahn expressed his interest in staying with Auburn in response to rumors about him possibly leaving for Arkansas.
George Schroeder of USA Today reports the deal features a "significant raise" and an increase to Malzahn's buyout.
