Oregon State coach Jonathan Smith is receiving a new six-year contract, a source told ESPN on Tuesday.
Smith’s new agreement will run through the 2025 season. He initially agreed to a five-year contract through 2022 that paid him $1.9 million annually. Yahoo first reported the new contract for Smith.
After going 2-10 in 2018, Smith guided Oregon State to four Pac-12 wins this past season, as the team finished in a second-place tie in the Pac-12 North Division. Oregon State recorded road wins against UCLA, Cal and Arizona, and the Beavers nearly became bowl-eligible before falling 54-53 to Washington State.
Smith, 40, played quarterback at Oregon State from 1998 to 2001. He served as Washington’s offensive coordinator from 2014 to 2017 before returning to Corvallis.
