College Football: Wright inks a three-year extension

Texas State head football coach Brad Wright just signed a three-year contract extension to coach the Bobcats through 2012.

Wright's contract includes a pay raise and eight performance-based bonuses. Those bonuses come into effect with each game won and possible national championships captured.

His base salary will be $190,000 per year, which is an 8.7-percent raise.

“We are very pleased with Brad’s performance the past three years,” Texas State Director of Athletics Dr. Larry Teis said in a press release. “He has continued to graduate student-athletes, brought discipline to our football program and won football games.”

Wright's career record with the Bobcats is 19-16.

With Wright signed, Texas State can focus on promoting or signing a new offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach. The Bobcats were left without a quarterbacks coach and only one offensive coordinator (Ben Norton) after Travis Bush left for UTSA.
