Arizona State Extends Coach Kenny Dillingham 5 More Years, Ap Source Says

Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham has agreed to a five-year contract extension on the eve of the Sun Devils' College Football Playoff quarterfinal game, a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press.

Dillingham will receive a pay increase and substantial bonus increases, the person said Tuesday night on condition of anonymity because the deal has not been announced.

The contract extension was first reported by ESPN.

The 34-year-old Dillingham orchestrated one of the biggest turnarounds in recent college football history, taking the No. 10 Sun Devils from three wins a year ago to the New Year's Day Peach Bowl against No. 4 Texas.

Dillingham has already picked up significant bonuses during Arizona State's run, which included a Big 12 championship in the Sun Devils' first year in the league after being picked to finish last in the preseason poll.
