The University of Oregon doesn’t want to lose Mario Cristobal…

The university has reported the 51-year-old Cuban-American football coach a contract extension in hopes of keeping him in Eugene, according to ESPN.

There’s increasing talk that Cristobal would be the main target at the University of Miami if the Hurricanes fire Manny Diaz.

Cristobal, a Miami native, played and coached at Miami. As a player, he won two national championships with the Hurricanes.

Sources told ESPN that this latest extension was “aggressive” and would be in the range of some of the other deals struck during this hiring cycle.

In his fourth season at Oregon, Cristobal has already received extensions two of the past three seasons. Last December, Cristobal received a new six-year, $27.3 million deal taking him through the 2025 season.

Counting incentives, including a Pac-12 championship, he could earn more than $5.5 million this season.

Oregon faces University of Utah on Friday night in the Pac-12 championship game.

Cristobal would owe Oregon a $9 million buyout if he leaves for another school before January 14.

The Oregonian first reported that Cristobal had a contract extension offer in front of him.
