Texas Tech University announced Tuesday that it was granting football coach Tommy Tuberville a one-year extension to his contract, which includes a pay increase. He is now signed by the school through the 2015 season. His annual salary has been raised to $2 million from $1.5 million.
"Coach Tuberville has done a great job of representing Texas Tech and we believe he is the right person to lead our football program," said athletic director Gerald Myers in a release. "We share the same goals of graduating student-athletes and running a program with integrity. He won eight games last season and is the first Tech coach to win a bowl game in his first year. Along with a strong first season and the record number of season ticket sales in 2010, we are very excited for the future."
Tuberville guided Texas Tech to an 8-5 record in his first season in Lubbock. The Red Raiders won their last three games, including a 45-38 victory over Northwestern in the inaugural TicketCity Bowl.
The school also set attendance records during the 2010 season, which also likely factored into the raise.
