Oregon State has extended the contract of football coach Jonathan Smith through the 2027 season, the school announced on Friday.
Smith has led Oregon State to a 7-4 record this season heading into Saturday’s regular-season finale at Oregon. The Beavers are bowl eligible for the first time since 2013.
“Coach Smith has led the resurgence of our football program in a way that has made all of Beaver Nation proud,” Oregon State vice president and athletic director Scott Barnes said. “Their steady growth, improvement and success on the field, in the classroom and the community is apparent. A strong foundation has been laid for success and the future of Beaver football is bright due to Coach Smith’s leadership.”
Smith is 16-26 in four years at Oregon State.
“I want to thank the Oregon State administration for making this commitment to our football program,” Smith said. “The continuity of our coaches and football staff has been a key reason for the success our student-athletes have had on the field, in the weight room and in the classroom. I’m thrilled the work by everyone in our program has been noticed, and they are being rewarded to help us continue to build this in the best possible way.”
