Per Bruce Feldman

SOURCE: Louisiana is finalizing a contract extension through 2023 for head coach Billy Napier. Ragin’ Cajun fans are very enthusiastic about direction of the program and recruiting.

So we are extending him 1 year.

To be expected. It was written in his contract that he would get an additional year after year 1 if Maggard feels coach has achieved annual performance targets. I'd say making the SBC championship game in year 1 and having the #1 SBC recruiting class was sufficient.

Extention with a modest pay bump was earned for himself and asst coaches UL picked 4th out of 5 teams last year which I thought was accurate. Then finished 1st in west......trend is clearly up.

This will be the 1st year most of his recruits see any tangible playing time.

Porter, Mapieu, McCaskill, Manac, Garror & Max Mitchell would like to have a word with you lol

Kinda my point....6 of the top 44 in 2 deep. Most Freshmen were redshirted.

14 of the 18 signees last year played over 4 games most was due to necessity but great from an experience standpoint

A bump in pay is not likely to happen.

No problem with that. Played in championship game first year.

By extending his contract (which I fully support), will that also keep the buyout at a higher level for another year?

Got to think Maggs made sure both sides win. Your correct I would think.

Because Maggard knows, all you have to do is WIN, win, win!
