Mandatory Credit: Ben Queen-Imagn Images Texas Tech and head coach Joey McGuire agreed on a new, seven-year contract that takes him through the 2032 season and raises his salary, multiple reports said Tuesday.
McGuire's average annual salary will jump to nearly $7 million per year, and he'll be earning more than $7 million by the end of the contract plus incentives, Yahoo and ESPN reported.
McGuire, 54, has guided the fifth-ranked Red Raiders to an 11-1 record and a berth in the Big 12 championship game against No. 11 BYU. Texas Tech is seen as a virtual lock for its first CFP playoff berth whether or not it wins the conference title.
McGuire has compiled a 34-17 record (24-12 Big 12) in his four seasons on the job, taking Texas Tech to a bowl in every season. The Texas native was hired in late 2021 after working on Baylor's staff for five years and as a high school coach for two decades before that.
He is the latest in a long line of head coaches who have received extensions this season while Penn State and a number of SEC teams had job openings to fill.
