On Thursday it was announced that Cal head coach Sonny Dykes has signed a two-year contract extension to stay with the team until 2019 for a total of $11.3 million. Dykes has been given a $3 million salary pool for his assistants.
Despite interviewing with at least one other school — Missouri — it doesn’t appear the Dykes was actually offered another job opportunities, thus deciding to resign with the Bears.
This decision comes on the heels of multiple reports stating that Dykes viewed remaining as the head coach as a “last resort” option and definitely not his first choice.
