Temple gives Golden extension
The Temple Owls have given head football coach Al Golden a five-year contract extension through 2014.
Financial terms have not been disclosed, but it’s likely that some type of small raise was involved.
Golden led the team to a 9-4 record and a trip to the EagleBank Bowl last season, a big step forward for the program.
It was the team’s first winning record since 1990 and their first bowl game in more than 30 years.
Temple’s program had been a laughingstock for a number of years before the school brought in the head coach.
