deschutesduck Author No. 7 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Smith and OSU athletic director Scott Barnes agreed to a new deal this week. The dollar figure is undisclosed, but Barnes said Smith’s “salary will move up appreciably in terms of Power 5 … and into the middle of Pac-12.” A source said Smith’s new deal will average more than $4 million per year over the life of the contract. Smith’s 2021 salary is $2.5 million. He is the lowest paid head football coach among Power 5 schools this season. In addition, Oregon State is adding to the assistant coaches’ salary pool, plus the ability raise salaries for football support personnel. The assistant salary coaching pool was $3.75 million for the 2021 season. To pay the new contract and salary pools, Barnes said he was able to “develop new funding streams,” but declined to say what it was. None of the money comes from state funds. https://tdn.com/oregon-state-football-coach-jonathan-smith-receives-a-new-six-year-contract-moves-to-middle/article_67287e0a-29b6-594c-8923-e20ae7ba5dd1.html Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUCKED No. 8 Share Posted November 27, 2021 Smart move by Oregon State. Smith’s stock has risen substantially and he was ripe for the picking. One of the best coaches in the Pac-12. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
