The State and Joe Person are reporting that two well-deserving USC employees got some work done on their contracts. God knows that Tanner is one of the best college baseball coaches around and USC needs to do all that they can do to keep him happy b/c he will bring a national championship to Carolina. Johnson also has proved his worth this year so far with a very good defensive scheme each game.
I must say that I approve and here is the full story —
The executive committee of USC’s Board of Trustees approved contract extensions today for Gamecocks baseball coach Ray Tanner and football defensive coordinator Ellis Johnson. Tanner received a raise of $25,000 per year and was given an additional year, taking his contract through the 2013 season. Tanner’s media compensation went from $100,000 to $125,000, making his annual guaranteed income $370,000. Johnson, in his first season with the Gamecocks, also was given an extra year through the end of the 2011 season. Johnson did not receive an increase in salary, which will remain at $350,000.
