The Rebels and athletic director Ross Bjork announced that Freeze will have his annual salary increased from $3.15 million to $4.3 million, a 36.5 percent raise and salary increase of $1.15 million. That figure should make Freeze one of the top-10 highest-paid coaches in college football, per the USA Today salary database.

"This continued investment in Ole Miss Football, Hugh Freeze and our football staff shows that we want to excel at the highest level in the SEC and college football," Bjork said. "I personally look forward to working with Hugh Freeze as we continue to build Ole Miss each and every day. We are grateful that his leadership of our program will be in place for the long term."
