TEMPE- Arizona State athletic director Graham Rossini spoke to the reporters about agreeing to a contract extension with football head coach Kenny Dillingham on Sunday.
Dillingham helped turn around the football program, transforming a 3-9 record in 2023 into a Big 12 Championship and a College Football Playoff appearance in 2024.
When being asked about what led to negotiations to extend Dillingham's contract, Rossini mentioned that leadership is crucial to the Sun Devils' success on and off the field.
"I mean, leadership matters first and foremost, and so we've got great leadership in our program," Rossini said Sunday.
