EUGENE, Ore. (AP) – Coach Mark Helfrich has agreed to a five-year contract extension that would keep him at Oregon through the 2019 season.
Helfrich last month wrapped up his second season with the Ducks, who finished 13-2 and went to the first College Football Playoff, eventually falling to Ohio State in the national championship game.
The contract guarantees Helfrich $17.5 million spread over five years with an annual average of $3.5 million. The deal includes incentives for both the team’s on-field performance and academic success.
Helfrich’s salary comes solely from athletic department funds. It also includes a one-year automatic rollover for any 11-win season that includes a victory in one of the major bowl games.
