Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham signs 5-year extension averaging $7.5M a year, AP source says
Arizona State has signed football coach Kenny Dillingham to a five-year contract extension that will raise his average annual salary to $7.5 million. That’s according to a person familiar with the contract who spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity Saturday because it was not yet announced. The deal also will increase Arizona State’s salary pool for assistant coaches to $11 million, one of the highest in the Big 12, the person said. The extension takes Dillingham out of the running for the top job at Michigan, which fired Sherrone Moore last week.
