COLUMBUS, Ohio — Ohio State has added two more years to football coach Jim Tressel's contract — and has offered him an administrative job when he retires.

The nine-year coach of the Buckeyes had his original contract, signed in 2006 and amended twice more, extended through the 2014 season.

Tressel, who is 94-21 at Ohio State, makes about $3.5 million a year, depending on incentives and additions. He will be 62 years old when the new extension ends.

He has said that he wants to coach as long as he enjoys it and feels he is effective. The Buckeyes are coming off an 11-2 season which was capped by a victory over Oregon in the Rose Bowl.

One portion of the new contract addendum provides Tressel with a university job as an associate athletic director if he steps down as football coach on good terms before his contract ends. He would be paid $150,000 a year.
