According to documents obtained this week from EWU Human Resource Services, Baldwin’s contract will pay him $212,717 a year, plus additionally approved increases.
The contract was finalized earlier this month and was signed by Baldwin, athletic director Bill Chaves and university president Mary Cullinan.
A veteran of 11 previous years on the Eastern Washington University football coaching staff, safeties coach Jeff Schmedding will take over as defensive coordinator as part of the changes announced by head coach Beau Baldwin.
Schmedding, 37, who has served as special teams coordinator since 2008, will also coach safeties for the fifth season in 2015. He is a 1996 graduate of University High School in Spokane, Wash., and received his bachelor's degree from EWU in 2002.
John Graham will continue as associate head coach, but will move from defensive coordinator to tight ends coach. Former tight ends coach Brian Strandley will move to his native defensive line where he will coach alongside Ryan Sawyer. Sawyer will also assume the new title of defensive front coordinator.
Baldwin said different staff members will assume roles coaching special teams, with those assignments to be determined.
