SEATTLE (AP) — Washington co-defensive coordinator Jimmy Lake will make a guaranteed $1.1 million under his new contract with the school.

Lake saw the biggest salary increase from last year, part of the agreement that includes him taking on duties as Washington's primary defensive play caller beginning in 2018. Lake was one of the biggest targets among assistant coaches in recent seasons, turning down offers from a number of big programs around the country.

Lake's deal goes through the 2020 season and has buyout language that makes it unlikely he would leave Washington for another defensive coordinator position.

Fellow co-defensive coordinator Pete Kwiatkowski also received a raise to $900,000 for the upcoming season and his contract includes increases to a guaranteed $1 million in 2020.
