MEMPHIS, Tenn. — University of Memphis head football coach Mike Norvell has signed an extension to continue leading the Tigers.
Norvell signed a new five-year deal with the Tigers on Tuesday that keeps him at the U of M through the 2022 season.
He had been a candidate for a number of other coaching jobs across the country, most notably at Arkansas.
Norvell led the Tigers to a 10-2 finish this season and a spot in the Liberty Bowl. He is 18-7 in his two seasons with the Tigers.
So excited about the future of Memphis Tiger football and to announce that I have signed an extension to continue to lead this great program! Thank you to @UofMemphisPres Tom Bowen and Board of Trustees for allowing me the opportunity #StripeEmUp #TigerFam #CLIMB #Grateful pic.twitter.com/vE7YLf0DuG
