COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) — Missouri has extended football coach Gary Pinkel's contract through the 2019 season and upped his yearly salary to $4.02 million, making him the 10th Southeastern Conference coach to have a yearly salary of at least $4 million.
Pinkel is headed into his 15th season at Missouri and is already the winningest coach in school history with 113 victories. He was making $3.2 million per year. The new agreement adjusts Pinkel's maximum performance incentives down to $725,000 from $1.825 million in his previous deal.
The 62-year-old Pinkel has led the Tigers to SEC East titles the last two years.
