After guiding the Aggies to their first national championship in just his third season, head volleyball coach Jamie Morrison is being rewarded in a big way.<\/p>\n<p>On Friday, the university announced that Morrison, now entering his fourth year, <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/texas-m-volleyball-locks-jamie-184409121.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:will receive a new five\u2011year contract;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;will receive a new five\u2011year contract&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">will receive a new five\u2011year contract <\/a>worth $3.35 million, a deal that positions him among the highest\u2011paid volleyball coaches in the nation. His base salary will jump from $305,000 to $650,000, with annual increases built in. Much like his previous agreement, the contract remains heavily incentive\u2011driven.<\/p>\n<p>Advertisement<\/p>\n<p>Depending on postseason success and <a href=\"https:\/\/sports.yahoo.com\/articles\/texas-m-jamie-morrison-named-222737342.html\" data-ylk=\"slk:individual accolades;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas;outcm:mb_qualified_link;_E:mb_qualified_link;ct:story;\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;individual accolades&quot;}\" class=\"link  yahoo-link\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">individual accolades<\/a>, Morrison can earn more than $400,000 in additional bonuses.

His aggressive, high\u2011tempo style has made A&amp;M one of the most entertaining teams in the country, and once the Aggies find their rhythm, they\u2019re nearly impossible to slow down.
