COLUMBIA, MO. • When he agreed to a new contract last year, Missouri football coach Barry Odom also wanted the school to make a stronger commitment to his coaching staff with more security and competitive salaries for his assistants. Even though the school’s athletics department has operated at a budget deficit the last two years and attendance at home football games has been on the decline, Mizzou followed through with Odom’s wishes. Coming off the team’s 8-5 season, the bulk of Odom’s staff received new contracts and new incentive packages effective March 1. The new figures increase Odom’s staff salary pool by nearly 8 percent.
