Brodhead’s contract will extend into 2024, while Marlin’s deal will run  an additional year to 2023. But, Marlin’s contract will extend into 2024 if the Ragin’ Cajuns win a conference regular season championship, win a conference tournament championship or make the NCAA Tournament with an at-large bid.

Similar incentives are applied to Key and Deggs’ contracts. Both of their contracts were extended by a year to 2025.
