CORVALLIS -- Oregon State reached deeper into its pockets in hiring new football coach Gary Andersen and his staff, according to contracts obtained by The Oregonian/OregonLive through a public records request.

As previously reported, Andersen signed a six-year deal with a starting base salary of $2.45 million. That figure will go up by $100,000 each year, culminating with a salary of $2.95 million in 2020. Andersen made $2.29 million at Wisconsin in 2014, according to USA Today's head coach salary database.

Additionally, the Beavers will pay roughly $2.64 million in assistant coach base salaries, up from the roughly $2.35 million paid last year.

The Beavers' highest-paid assistant, as expected, is defensive coordinator and associate head coach Kalani Sitake, who signed a three-year deal with an annual salary of $730,008. That figure could catapult him into or near the top 20 highest-paid assistant coaches nationally and is a significant raise from the $500,000 he made at Utah last year.

Every new coach received a raise except for Kevin McGiven, who moved down from Utah State's offensive coordinator post to the quarterbacks coach at OSU. Offensive coordinator Dave Baldwin inked a two-year deal worth $435,000 annually, while offensive line coach T.J. Woods is the highest-paid position coach at $260,004. All coaches are on multi-year deals.

Andersen is also entitled to a variety of performance-based bonuses, including for number of regular-season wins ($100,000 for eight, $150,000 for nine, $200,000 for 10 or more), winning the Civil War ($50,000), making the Pac-12 title game ($50,000), making the College Football Playoff or an "Access" Bowl selected by the committee ($100,000) or winning Pac-12 or national Coach of the Year ($25,000 and $50,000, respectively). Additionally, assistants and other staff members will receive bonuses based on number of wins, postseason appearances and winning the Civil War.

Andersen has a buyout of $3 million (the same amount OSU paid Wisconsin to hire the former Badgers coach) if he takes another Pac-12 or NFL job or $2.5 million in all other circumstances.

When asked upon Andersen's hiring how OSU planned to pull off the financials for the uptick in coaching salaries, athletic director Bob De Carolis said he was working with university officials and donors to come up with a plan that could involve an "investment fee" added to ticket prices.
