The deal had been in the works for several months, and the school officially announced it on Tuesday. Financial terms were not disclosed.
In a statement, Fitzgerald says he is “humbled and appreciative” of the commitment from Northwestern and expects to compete for championships.
Fitzgerald was already under contract through 2015, but is getting a new deal after leading the Wildcats to a 34-29 record over five seasons and bowl appearances the past three years. Northwestern went 7-6 in 2010 and lost to Texas Tech in the TicketCity Bowl.
An All-American linebacker in the 1990s, Fitzgerald helped the Wildcats reach the Rose Bowl.
