UGA’s women’s hoops coach agrees to $4M deal

Joni Crenshaw will earn about $575,000 a year as Georgia’s new head coach of the women’s basketball program.

That’s according to a memo of understanding released by UGA on Friday and signed by Crenshaw earlier this week. She was hired as Andy Landers’ successor this past Sunday.

The four-page employment agreement contracts Crenshaw to coach the Lady Bulldogs through April of 2021. If she completes that term, she will be awarded an additional $600,000 as a longevity bonus. Crenshaw has the ability to earn more money through performance bonuses and will receive cash allowances for clothes and cars.
