Will Muschamp, football staff raises approved by USC board

South Carolina’s Board of Trustees approved Friday raises for head football coach Will Muschamp and his entire coaching staff.

The pay increases had been coming down the pipeline for a while, and athletics director Ray Tanner met with board members Tuesday to iron out the final details before Friday’s approval.

Muschamp received a three-year extension. The six-year deal runs through 2023, starting at $4.2 million a year and increasing by $200,000 each season.

The maximum bonus he could earn would be $1.4 million. The deal was approved unanimously.
