CFB: Oregon State coach Riley signs extension through 2015

Associated Press

EL PASO, Texas — Oregon State coach Mike Riley has agreed to a one-year contract extension that will take him through the 2015 season.

Riley has taken Oregon State to three straight bowl games and five over a six-year span during his second tenure at the school, winning all four postseason contests. The Beavers meet Pittsburgh on Wednesday in the Sun Bowl.

Riley said he has "a terrific job at a place that I truly love." He is due to earn about $1 million this season with included incentives. He had been working with a six-year contract that rolled over for every bowl appearance.

The new contract will be at seven years and is structured similarly in that it will add a year for each bowl appearance.
