Mike Shanahan Contract Agreement as Indiana Football Offensive Coordinator
Shanahan's extension ensures continuity after Indiana's undefeated regular season, Big Ten title, and Heisman winner, positioning the staff for the College Football Playoff.
- On Thursday, Indiana Hoosiers football program gave offensive coordinator and receivers coach Mike Shanahan a three-year contract extension, the Associated Press reported with a source requesting anonymity.
- After an undefeated regular season, Indiana moved to retain its staff to keep two-time AP Coach of the Year Curt Cignetti and key assistants together heading into next season.
- His career path includes two seasons with Cignetti at Elon, followed him to James Madison, and began coaching as a Pittsburgh graduate assistant in 2014.
- Financial terms were not disclosed, though Mike Shanahan is expected to be one of the nation's highest-paid assistants, mirroring Bryant Haines' three-year extension last week; the top-seeded Hoosiers open the College Football Playoff in the Rose Bowl on New Year's Day.
- Strong offensive performance and major coaching contracts position Indiana as a program willing to pay for continuity after Curt Cignetti's eight-year, $93 million extension and Indiana's offense ranking among FBS's highest-scoring over two seasons with quarterbacks finishing top 10 in Heisman balloting in 2024 and 2025.
