The University of California, Berkeley, reportedly came to official terms on a contract with new head football coach Justin Wilcox on Wednesday.
According to Jon Wilner of the Mercury News, Wilcox signed a five-year deal that will pay him an average of $1.9 million annually.
While Wilcox will be paid a base salary of $250,000 per year, he has a guaranteed talent fee that ranges from $1.25 million to $2.5 million, as well as a $100,000 hiring bonus and additional incentives.

Wilcox was hired as the Golden Bears' head coach in January following the firing of former head coach Sonny Dykes.
The 40-year-old Wilcox previously served as a defensive coordinator at Boise State, Tennessee, Washington, USC and Wisconsin.
His first head coaching job could be a difficult one, as Cal has reached just one bowl game in the past six seasons.
