Brown Signs Contract Extension
“I am pleased with the progress I’ve seen in our football program since arriving last year,” Baker stated. “I think this contract extension lets us keep up the good work as we start our first year in the Big 12 Conference, which has been enlarged. I’m grateful for the work that Coach Brown and his team do to help the youth in our program grow both on and off the field.”
Coming off a nine-win season and a victory in the Duke’s Mayo Bowl over North Carolina, the extension maintains continuity in the football program and reflects a continued commitment by both sides.
“My first priority was retaining and rewarding our assistant coaches and support staff who have played such a critical role in our success,” Brown stated. “Wren’s help on that front and his unwavering dedication to me and our project are greatly appreciated. For this program, we have a common vision, and maintaining that alignment is essential to our success. Great things are ahead, and I can’t wait to meet our amazing supporters again on August 31 at Milan Puskar Stadium.”
