McElwain, Two Other CSU Coaches Get Extensions

Seventy-two hours after firing athletic director Jack Graham, Colorado State announced that football coach Jim McElwain has signed a new five-year contract through 2019.

Interim athletic director John Morris also announced new deals Monday for volleyball coach Tom Hilbert and women's basketball coach Ryun Williams.

Along with men's basketball coach Larry Eustachy, who signed a new deal last fall, the Rams have long-term coaching commitments for their four most visible athletic programs.

School President Tony Frank briefed members of the CSU board of governors about the contracts at meetings in Pueblo, Colorado, last week.
