Tedford Signs 5 Year Contract
ESPN has the big news on Tedford agreeing to lead the Bears to future glory:

The bad news of Sunday at California will turn into good news Monday when the university announces that Golden Bear coach Jeff Tedford has agreed to a new five-year contract, a Pacific-10 Conference source said.

Tedford, who took over a 1-10 Cal team three years ago, led the Bears to a 10-1 season and a No. 4 ranking. Tedford had been considered the top candidate for the vacancy at the University of Washington, and his name had been mentioned at Notre Dame as well.

The new contract will guarantee Tedford $1.5 million per year, with additional incentives. This year, the university paid Tedford $800,000, and incentives met will push the final total to approximately $1.1 million.

There is a press conference at 2, and we'll have more after that.
