Moments before the news broke that Oregon State was relieving special teams coordinator Jamie Christian of his duties, Athletic Director Scott Barnes issued the following statement addressing the Beavers’ struggles on the field as the team sits at 0-6 at the halfway point.

Beaver Nation,

I understand and share your disappointment with how our football season has started. My expectations for our program are high, and right now, we are not meeting them.

Head Coach Trent Bray and I are reviewing every aspect of the program and committed to making immediate changes. With half of the regular season still ahead, there remains an opportunity to continue improving in every area.

Your feedback is important to us and it aligns with our own concerns and frustration. We value your support, and together, we can create more memorable moments for Beaver Nation. The work to get back to our winning ways begins in earnest now!

Go Beavs!

Scott Barnes
