According to reports, Mississippi State Bulldogs head coach Chris Jans has signed a contract extension that will keep him with the program through the 2027-28 season.
Coming to Starkville after five successful seasons at New Mexico State, Jans has been the head coach of the Bulldogs each of the last two seasons where he has compiled a combined 42-27 overall record, as well as a 16-20 mark in SEC play. Jans has also led Mississippi State to a pair of NCAA Tournament appearances in those two years, which were losses in the First Four and First Round.
This past season, Jans led Mississippi State to a 21-14 overall record, as well as an 8-10 record in SEC play for the second consecutive season. Mississippi State also made the NCAA Tournament a year ago as mentioned previously, falling in the First Round.
Those two NCAA Tournament appearances were also Mississippi State’s first since the 2018-19 season, as well as the first time the program has made back-to-back trips to the big dance since 2008-09.
