The Arizona State Sun Devils and head football coach Kenny Dillingham have reached an agreement on a new 5-year contract the night before the team’s College Football Playoff quarterfinal against Texas in the Peach Bowl, according to ESPN’s Pete Thamel.
The deal is technically for five years but has a way of working out to a 10-year contract, per Thamel.
Dillingham’s five-year deal includes a “pathway” to extend out to 10 years, according to sources. While Arizona law limits state school contracts to five years, sources said incentives give the deal the runway to get to 10 years.
SunDevilSource.com’s Chris Karpman reports Dillingham’s new deal comes with a pay bump and a significant incentivized bonus structure.
Dillingham has led a complete turnaround and revival of the Sun Devils’ football program. After ASU posted a 3-9 record in his debut season last year, it posted an 11-2 record heading into Wednesday’s matchup made possible by a Big 12 title win in the school’s first full season in the program. The Sun Devils were picked to finish dead last in the conference by the media.
Dillingham, 34, is a local product that attended Arizona State University after graduating from Chaparral High School. He got his start as an assistant with ASU in 2014 before stops at Memphis, Auburn, Florida State and Oregon. After one year as Oregon’s offensive coordinator in 2022, he was hired by the Sun Devils to be the new head coach.
Peach Bowl coverage for the matchup between ASU and Texas can be heard on the Arizona Sports app, ArizonaSports.com and 98.7 FM, beginning at 8 a.m.
