Oregon State will hire Colorado co-offensive coordinator Brian Lindgren and Arizona offensive line coach Jim Michalczik, sources close to the situation told The Oregonian/OregonLive.

Lindgren is expected to be the OSU offensive coordinator and Michalczik will take over as offensive line coach.

The moves represent the first known assistant coach hires by Beavers head coach Jonathan Smith. On Sunday, The Oregonian/OregonLive reported OSU will hire Dan Van De Riet as director of football operations.

Lindgren, 37, came to Colorado from San Jose State in 2013 with head coach Mike MacIntyre and helped turn around a struggling program that went on to win the Pac-12 South title in 2016 with the best statistical offense in program history.

Lindgren has been the Buffaloes quarterbacks coach for the past five years, guiding Sefo Liufau and Steven Montez. He spent the past two seasons as co-offensive coordinator with Darrin Chiaverini, after handling the duties individually from 2013-15.

Michalczik, 51, has been the Arizona offensive line coach under Rich Rodriguez since 2013. He previously coached at Oregon State from 1999-2001 as the tight ends, special teams and offensive line coach under Dennis Erickson when Smith was the Beavers' starting quarterback.

Michalczik (pronounced muh-hall-CHECK) went on to become the assistant head coach and offensive line coach at California under Jeff Tedford from 2002-08 and returned as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach from 2011-12 after a two-year stint as offensive line coach with the Oakland Raiders (2009-10).

Both coaches have ties to the Pacific Northwest.

Lingren is from Walla Walla, Washington, and was a record-setting quarterback at Desales Catholic High School. He went on to become starting quarterback at Idaho (2000-03), where he was named first-team All-Sun Belt. Smith coached quarterbacks at Idaho from 2004-09, his first job after a two-year tenure as an Oregon State graduate assistant.

In 2005, Lindgren became quarterbacks coach at the University of Redlands and spent 2006-11 at Northern Arizona, coaching multiple position groups and serving as offensive coordinator until joining the San Jose State staff in 2012.

Michalczik is from Port Angeles, Washington, and played for Erickson on the Washington State offensive line. His first coaching job was as the defensive line coach under Erickson at Miami from 1990-91. The Hurricanes won a national title in 1991 before Michalczik left to coach the offensive line at Montana State from 1992-98.

According to USA Today, Lindgren made a $481,825 salary at Colorado and Michalczik made $310,000 at Arizona.
