Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham, his name linked to the open job at Michigan, reportedly is staying with the Sun Devils.
Multiple outlets reported Saturday that Dillingham has signed a five-year deal to stay at his alma mater. His salary will be $7.5 million a year, which makes him the second-highest paid head coach in the Big 12, behind Deion Sanders at Colorado, according to the USA Today coaches salary database.
The school also agreed to increase the salary pool for his assistant coaches, according to reports.
Dillingham, 35, is concluding his third season at Arizona State, which will end Dec. 31 at the Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas, against Duke.
The Sun Devils are 8-4 (6-3 Big 12) this season, with Dillingham 22-16 overall since taking over after the firing of Herm Edwards.
Dillingham was a leading candidate for the Michigan job, which came open Dec. 10 when Sherrone Moore was fired for having an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. That same day, he was arrested and charged with stalking and home invasion after a break-in at the woman's home.
