Darrin Horn Receives Extension
Coach Horn is receiving an extension. Per The State:
A revision to Horn's contract is on the agenda for Monday's meeting of the USC board of trustees. Several sources said Horn is expected to get a raise of $300,000, and the length of his deal will also be increased by an unknown amount.
Horn's current contract annually pays him $800,000 plus incentives. He is in the second year of a five-year deal he signed upon being hired before the 2008-09 season.
While I wouldn't want to see us go Notre Dame-Charlie Weis over Horn just yet, I do think this reasonable raise and extension are deserved. I'm uncertain how much success we're going to see this year due to unexpected injuries, but the fact that Horn is recruiting at a pace that's rarely been seen around here in only his second year is going to mean a lot in a couple of years. This is a coach that stars want to play and that other schools are going to want soon. I'm glad we're making a move to keep him in Columbia.

Good move by USC
I think Horn is a great coach.
First time I shot her, shot her in the side.
Hard to watch her suffer, but with the second shot she died...

Next season's recruiting class is going to be one of the best we've ever had. It's been a long time since we've had a top 25 class, much less a top 10 class.
Horn is building lasting success here. Glad we’re locking him down.

Horn
By all accounts has us moving in the right direction. Sure he is still new here, but that raise and extension at this point is definitely deserved IMO. He seems like a guy I’d want around here for a long time.
