MANHATTAN, Kansas (Ticker) -- Kansas State head football coach
Ron Prince has agreed to a new five-year contract that runs
through the 2012 season, the school announced Thursday.
The deal will pay Prince $1.1 million annually in guaranteed
money and could be worth up to $10.25 million based on
incentives.
"I am very appreciative of the commitment that the university
has shown to our organization," Prince said. "The
administration has proven its long-term commitment to us as a
program as evident in the current facility expansion and other
projects that are essential for sustained success."
Prince, 38, coached the Wildcats to a 5-7 record last season,
including a 3-5 mark in the Big 12 Conference.
The highlight of Kansas State's 2007 campaign came on September
29, when the Wildcats rolled to a stunning 41-21 rout of
then-No. 7 Texas in Austin. It was the first road victory
against a top-10 team in the program's history.
A former assistant at Virginia, Prince has a 12-13 record in two
years at Kansas State. He guided the Wildcats to an appearance
in the Texas Bowl following the 2006 season.
"We feel that we are on schedule with our plan of building a
fast, tough, strong and disciplined program and are looking
forward to this season and many seasons to come," Prince said.
"We are pleased with the direction of our football program under
the leadership of Ron," athletic director Bob Krause said. "He
has a plan in place and is right on course with that plan, and
this new contract provides one additional year on top of the
additional year he earned by leading the Wildcats to a bowl in
his first season."
