Connecticut football coach Randy Edsall has agreed to a five-year contract extension, taking him through 2012, ESPN college football reporter Joe Schad has learned. He had two years left on his current contract.

Edsall, who made $900,000, will make an average of $1.5 million a year. He had interviewed in December for the Georgia Tech head coaching job but decided to stay at UConn.


"I'll stay here as long as they would like me to stay," Edsall said at the time of UConn. "There is still quite a bit of work to be done and I want to continue to do that."
