The University of Washington and head football coach Chris Petersen have agreed to a two-year contract extension that will keep him with the school through the 2020 season, per Pete Thamel of Sports Illustrated, and pay him $4 million a year in 2019 and 2020. The school confirmed the deal on its website Thursday.
Petersen, 51, is in his second season as Washington's head coach after taking over for Steve Sarkisian. He's gone 13-12 with the Huskies, and the team heads into its Apple Cup matchup against Washington State at 5-6 on the year, looking to secure bowl eligibility.
