NORFOLK, Va. – Old Dominion University Director of Athletics Dr. Wood Selig announced a contract extension for football coach Bobby Wilder on Friday. Wilder led the 2016 Monarchs to a 10-3 overall record and earned an invitation to the Popeyes Bahamas Bowl, which ODU won 24-20 over Eastern Michigan.
Wilder’s extension will run through the 2021 season. Seven assistant coaches will sign two-year contracts sometime in April.
“Bobby has been the architect behind the success of ODU football for over a decade. He has helped us in becoming the model start-up program relative to success in the classroom, on the field and within the community measured by our high graduation rates, overall competitive success at every level throughout our evolution and our 54 consecutive game sell out streak,” Selig said.
