Arguably the top head coach in all of Cal Athletics right now, Dave Durden will be staying in Berkeley after signing a 3-year contract extension over the weekend, rumored with a fairly significant raise. With the head coaching job open in Auburn, where Durden had served as an assistant earlier in his career as well as it is the alma mater of his wife, some (online) people had speculated that Auburn (with both a ton more money and a lower cost of living) will make a significant run at Durden this offseason. This extension puts those rumors to rest (and Auburn immediately poached the head coach from NC State, a top 5 program, instead).
