NORFOLK, Va. — Norfolk State University athletics director Marty L. Miller announced Thursday that he has signed head football coach Pete Adrian to a two-year contract extension that will keep him as the Spartans’ coach through the 2010 season.

Adrian, who is in his third year leading the Spartans, has compiled a 9-14 record through the Sept. 1 season-opening 33-7 win over Virginia State. The win was the largest for the Spartans over Virginia State since NSU moved to Division I in 1997, and it came before a crowd of 26,970 fans, the second-largest in Dick Price Stadium history.

“We’ve been pleased with the progress that has been made in our football program, both athletically and academically,” Miller said. “The football program is moving in the right direction. We are happy with the improvement in attendance and with the caliber of student-athlete that coach Adrian has recruited.”
