Amy Williams Contract Extension

This seems like a no-brainer Williams has done a terrific job molding the team into this year's NCAA tournament squad. They were just a breath away from beating Iowa TWICE this year. They had a great run in the B1G tournament. Some success in the NCAA tournament should shout to a lot of talented players that Nebraska is a great place to place basketball. I expect good things going forward.

 

One thing this seems to say is that the Huskers are not very concerned about this lawsuit that is out there.

Winning basketball 

High character players

Players graduate

Highly thought of incoming recruiting class

A staff that is respected for player development 

Team plays an exciting brand of basketball

Players who make all conference teams

Role model

 

Yeah, sure a wart here or there; but what coach doesn't have a few of those blind spots.  Count me in the group that is happy she has been extended.

This contract $$  puts her up the in the higher tier of the B!G, and into the top 25 nationally.   

 

Mulkey (LSU) is highest at about 3.2 mil/year  ! Just above Geno and Staley at about 3 million/yr.

I'm OK with both extensions.  My only question, the timing.  Weren't President and AD positions filled by interims at the time? Who actually made the decisions?

Negotiations must have been far along and only needed to be approved by Regents.

Williams' new contract extends through the 2028-29 season and will pay the Husker coach $950,000 next season, which will rank about seventh in the Big Ten Conference.
