Missouri’s new offensive coordinator will be the highest-paid assistant coach in program history.
Derek Dooley has agreed to a three-year contract paying him a guaranteed salary of $900,000, according to the memorandum of understanding obtained by The Star.
Dooley — who spent the past five seasons as the Dallas Cowboys’ wide receivers coach after previously being head coach at Tennessee and Louisiana Tech — will also be Missouri’s quarterbacks coach. He is succeeding the previously highest-paid assistant in program history, Josh Heupel, who left MU to become head coach at Central Florida. Heupel made $700,000 in base salary at MU.
