In the midst of the program’s best season in over a decade, Kansas has agreed to a contract extension with head coach Lance Leipold.
Leipold, currently in his second season with the Jayhawks, has secured a new deal that will extend his contract through 2029, sources told SI‘s Ross Dellenger. ESPN’s Pete Thamel was the first to report the extension.
Kansas is currently 6-5, already clinching the Jayhawks’ first season with more than five wins since 2008. Leipold, 58, guided the team to a 2-10 mark last season in his first campaign with Kansas after a successful six-year stint with Buffalo.
