University of Oregon athletic director Rob Mullens announced today that the University has reached an agreement on a contract extension with head football coach Mario Cristobal, pending Board of Trustees approval. The extension runs through the 2025 season and is funded through private athletic gifts.
In his third season, Cristobal is 24-9 at Oregon, including a Pac-12 Championship and Rose Bowl victory in 2019, a year he was also voted the Associated Press Pac-12 Coach of the Year. The Ducks will play Friday against USC in the Pac-12 Championship Game for a chance to repeat as champions.
“Mario has been a tremendous leader, and we are excited that he will continue to lead Oregon Football,” said Mullens. “He has built a strong culture and foundation within our program in a very short period of time and I am confident we will continue to build upon the success we have experienced so far and reach even greater heights. We look forward to the future of Oregon Football under Mario’s continued leadership.”
