Illinois State football head coach Brock Spack earned a raise following a record-setting season with the Illinois State football program. The University announced earlier this week that Brock Spack will remain at ISU until 2021.
According to goredbirds.com, Spack's salary will increase to $300,000, beginning with the 2015 football season.
Illinois State Director of Athletics Larry Lyons stated,
"Brock is such a great fit for our department, our campus and our community. He is a tremendous program manager and a gifted football coach. This contract reflects a competitive salary within the context of FCS football and the Missouri Valley Football Conference. It provides strong evidence of our mutual commitment to the long-term stability and success of the Illinois State football program."
Spack has compiled a 46-26 record in six seasons at Illinois State and has led the Redbirds to winning campaigns in five of those six years. The 2014 Missouri Valley Football Conference Coach of the Year and two-time Eddie Robinson Award Finalist, has guided the Redbirds to a pair of playoff appearances in the last three seasons and led ISU to its first-ever appearance in the FCS Championship game in 2014-2015.
Coach Brock Spack said,
"I'm very excited to get this extension signed and continue to put our focus on recruiting the next class of Redbirds. I appreciate the commitment shown to me, my family and staff, from Illinois State University, and hopefully we can continue to raise the profile of the Illinois State football program to unprecedented heights."
