Johnson Agrees to One-Year Extension

3 months ago

    Georgia Tech coach Paul Johnson has agreed to a one-year extension of his contract, which now runs through 2016.
    Johnson initially signed a seven-year contract worth about $11 million when he came from Navy before the 2008 season. The school gave him a new seven-year, $17.7 million deal after he led the Yellow Jackets to a surprising nine-win season in his debut.
    His second year has been even better. No. 7 Georgia Tech (10-1) has already clinched a spot in the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game, and Friday's extension keeps Johnson's contract at the original length.
