Washington coach Chris Petersen has been given a two-year contract extension through the 2020 season, UW announced Thursday morning.
Petersen originally agreed to a five-year contract worth $18 million with UW in December 2013, making him one of the highest-paid coaches in the Pac-12. He was scheduled to earn $3.4 million this year, plus potential bonuses, and as part of the new deal will earn $4 million annually in 2018, 2019 and 2020.
