The Sonny Dykes era at Cal will continue for four more seasons. The university agreed to a contract extension with its football coach Thursday despite Dykes posting a 13-23 record over his first three seasons.
Jeff Faraudo of the Bay Area News Group reported the deal is worth $2.85 million per season through 2019, with a $3 million salary pool for assistant coaches.
Dykes, 46, led the Golden Bears to a 7-5 record and their first bowl berth since 2011 this season. After nosediving to a 1-11 record in his first season, Dykes has improved Cal's record each of the subsequent two years.
