    Louisville has agreed to new seven-year contract with football coach Charlie Strong.

    Strong is in his second season at Louisville and his current contract ran through the 2015 season. The new deal increases Strong's base salary from $1.6 million to $2.3 million.

    Strong led the school to its first bowl game in three years -- a 31-28 win over Southern Mississippi in the Beef O'Brady's Bowl -- in his first season. He was named co-Big East coach of the year in 2010.
