Norvell lead this Memphis team to a 10-2 season that included an AAC Western Division Championship. They will be playing Iowa State in the Liberty Bowl on Dec. 30th. At one point Norvell's Tigers had fans thinking of a possible Peach Bowl Berth.

Several schools have been connected to the former Arizona State coordinator, including Arkansas, Florida, Oregon and Ole Miss. All the while Memphis and Norvell were working on an extension that would aid in him and his staff staying in the Bluff City.

According to The Commercial Appeal, Norvell's extension is for 5 years, $13 million. That means he is under contract until 2022. It will also add $250,000 to his assistant pool.
