Chris Jans gets contract extension, raise with Mississippi State basketball in NCAA tournament
STARKVILLE — Mississippi State basketball is in the NCAA tournament, so third-year coach Chris Jans will receive a contract extension and salary raise.
Jans automatically receives a one-year extension and $100,000 raise each time MSU makes the NCAA tournament, according to his Bulldog Club contract obtained by the Clarion Ledger.
It will increase his salary to $4.4 million for next season. That salary will keep increasing by $100,000 through March 2028. Then, his salary jumps to $5.45 million through the 2028-29 season and $5.55 million though the 2029-30 season.
The No. 8 seed Bulldogs (21-12) will play No. 9 Baylor (19-14) on Friday in Raleigh, North Carolina. The game time has not yet been announced.
Jans has led Mississippi State to three consecutive NCAA tournament appearances for the first time in program history since 2003-05. He joins only three other coaches in SEC history — John Calipari, Bruce Pearl and Tubby Smith — to win at least 21 games and reach the NCAA tournament in each of the first three seasons.
His 63 MSU wins are the most in program history for a coach through the first three seasons.
Chris Jans contract bonus
Jans is owed a $50,000 bonus for making the NCAA tournament. He can earn more based on how far Mississippi State goes in the tournament.
- Second round: $100,000
- Sweet 16: $150,000
- Elite Eight: $250,000
- Final Four: $300,000
- National championship game: $400,000
- National championship won: $500,000
Jans, like other head coaches at Mississippi State and Ole Miss, has two contracts: one with the state and another with The Bulldog Club, Mississippi State’s athletic foundation. State law prohibits public employees from signing longer than four-year contracts, and the schools circumvent it with the athletic foundation contracts. Jans’ performance bonuses are tied to his state contract.
