Coming off an 8-4 regular season that led to the program’s first national ranking in more than three years, Missouri has rewarded Odom with a new contract that will push his guaranteed salary from $2.35 million to $3.05 million and extend the deal two more years through the 2024 season. The University of Missouri System Board of Curators approved the new contract during an executive session Wednesday afternoon.
The move comes a day after Odom secured his quarterback for next season, Clemson graduate transfer Kelly Bryant, perhaps the program’s most important recruiting catch since Odom became head coach.
