FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas defensive coordinator Barry Odom received a pay raise and contract extension following reported interest for the same job at Texas and LSU earlier this year.
Odom's new contract with the Razorbacks is through the 2023 season and is worth $1.75 million per year.
Odom previously was under contract through 2023 at an annual salary of $1.3 million. He received a $100,000 raise last year after Arkansas head coach Sam Pittman said Odom had turned down interest from an unspecified SEC program.
Odom's new salary is the highest ever for an Arkansas assistant coach, eclipsing the $1.
