EUGENE — Tony Stubblefield signed a three-year contract to return to Dana Altman’s coaching staff at Oregon while fellow assistant coaches Mike Mennenga, Brian Fish and Louis Rowe each signed one-year contracts last month

Stubblefield, whose return was officially announced in April, signed a three-year deal last month through June 2027. He’ll earn a prorated salary of $600,000 — approximately $750,000 backdated from March 29 of this year through June 2025, $700,000 the following year and $800,000 in the final year, according to the contract provided to The Oregonian/OregonLive in response to a public records request. He can also earn a $300,000 retention bonus if still in the position through the completion of the contract.

Stubblefield, who spent 11 seasons working as an assistant at UO, before three seasons as head coach at DePaul, also received a $35,000 signing bonus in lieu of relocation expenses, which he would owe back if he left UO prior to June 30, 2025. His buyout is $300,000 if he were to leave before July 1, 2025, decreases by $100,000 each of the next two years and is waived if Stubblefield leaves to become a Division I or NBA head coach or departs and does not coach in college or professional basketball through June 2027.

Performance bonuses are worth slightly more to Stubblefield than the other full-time assistants. If Oregon wins the Big Ten regular season title or conference tournament championship ($10,000 each), or finishes second in either scenario ($2,500). A bid to the NCAA Tournament ($10,000), wins in the Big Dance ($5,000 in each of the first four rounds), reaching the national championship ($10,000) and winning the national championship ($30,000) for a cumulative total of $60,000.

Mennenga, who earned a $91,666 retention bonus on June 30, is earning a $375,000 salary this year, the same as he earned the past two seasons.

Fish’s one-year contract includes a $300,000 salary, more than the $281,250 he earned last season but lower than the $337,500 annualized salary he was earning.

Rowe’s one-year deal is for $175,000 salary, more than the $153,877 he earned over six months last season but lower than the $300,000 annualized salary he was earning.

The performance bonuses in Mennenga’s contract, which were previously mostly in line with the rest of the staff but with some minor differences, are now the same as those for Fish and Rowe, and the same as they were last season. If Oregon wins the Big Ten regular season title or conference tournament championship ($5,000 each) or finishes second in either scenario ($2,500), receiving an NCAA Tournament bid ($10,000), with wins in the Big Dance ($5,000 each) and winning the national championship ($20,000) totally a cumulative $45,000.

Kevin McKenna, who has served as director of player development for the past two years, is still earning a $179,500 salary, according to payroll records.
