Hoosiers reward Lynch with new four-year deal

BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- Bill Lynch will remain Indiana's football coach under a new four-year contract.

Lynch was the Hoosiers' interim coach this season following the death of Terry Hoeppner from complications of a brain tumor. Lynch guided the Hoosiers to a 7-5 record and the team is expected to receive its first bowl bid since 1993.

"Bill Lynch and his staff showed great leadership under trying circumstances," athletic director Rick Greenspan said in a statement. "We are confident that the program can achieve consistent success under Bill's leadership."

Lynch's contract runs through July 1, 2012. Terms of the deal were not released.
