OSU A&M Board of Regents Approves New Contract for Athletic Director Chad Weiberg

Chad Weiberg had been working without a contract since the end of June, leading some to question the future of the athletic department, but Weiberg now has a new deal.

The Oklahoma State University/A&M Board of Regents on Friday approved a four-year contract for Weiberg.

“Chad is providing strong, steady leadership during one of the most transformative periods in college athletics history,” OSU President Jim Hess said in the release. “He has the ability to navigate complex challenges and keep our student-athletes and programs at the forefront.”

Weiberg stepped into the role in 2021, taking over for Mike Holder. The landscape has evolved massively since the takeover, with conference realignment, NIL and the transfer portal all growing in prominence.

He graduated from OSU in 1994 with a degree in business administration and worked as OSU Athletics’ director of corporate sales and donor relations from 1994 to 1999. He was in various roles at OSU until 2004 when he left for Kansas State, working his way up to a K-State associate AD in 2009. Weiberg served as Texas Tech’s deputy athletic director from 2015 through 2017 before he moved back to Stillwater to serve as Holder’s deputy AD until Holder retired in 2021.

Weiberg and OSU are in the middle of their first football coaching search in two decades after the University fired Mike Gundy in September. This will mark the fifth head coach Weiberg has hired, as he has already made hires in women’s basketball (Jacie Hoyt), wrestling (David Taylor), men’s basketball (Steve Lutz) and women’s golf (Annie Young).

Under Weiberg’s watch, OSU was won three national titles: equestrian (2022), men’s cross country (2023) and men’s golf (2025).

“I thank the Board of Regents and President Hess for their continued confidence in our leadership and vision for OSU Athletics,” Weiberg said. “Oklahoma State is a special place, and our coaches and staff are committed to ensuring our student-athletes have every resource and opportunity to compete at the highest level. The future is bright for Cowboy and Cowgirl Athletics.”
