A day after Mike Candrea had his contract extended through 2022, Arizona Wildcats baseball coach Jay Johnson received a similar reward.
Johnson has agreed to a five-year extension that will run through 2022 and increase his base salary to $500,000, the UA announced Tuesday.
The extension also includes performance bonuses and 50,000 units in a master limited partnership that will fully vest at the completion of the contract.
"Jay Johnson has done a tremendous job as our head baseball coach and we are committed to having him in Tucson for a long time," Arizona athletic director Dave Heeke said in a statement.
