According to The Clarion-Ledger, Freeze and Ole Miss have a deal in place for a contract extension that will keep Freeze in Oxford “for the next four years.” The deal also includes a raise that will pay Freeze $4 million per year and salary boosts for his assistant coaches. Freeze’s previous deal paid him $3 million annually.
The specifics of the deal have not been confirmed yet by Ole Miss, but Freeze and athletic director Ross Bjork tweeted the news Tuesday morning.
A few reports connected Freeze to the Florida job, one of which said Freeze had an offer on the table “in the range of $4.2 to $4.3 million annually.” Florida denied that the job had been offered to anyone.
Freeze recently completed his third season with the program with a win in the Egg Bowl over in-state rival Mississippi State. The Rebels have improved every season with Freeze at the helm, going 7-6 in 2012, 8-5 in 2013 and 9-3 this season with a bowl game on the horizon.
Overall, Freeze’s record at Ole Miss is 24-14 (11-13 SEC).
