COLUMBIA, Mo. — The University of Missouri has extended football coach Eli Drinkwitz's contract, adding one more year to the agreement while keeping his compensation the same.
The agreement, signed in February but announced by the school on Thursday, runs through the 2029 football season and marks a continued commitment by the university to keep its prized coach in Columbia.
The buyout terms remain similar to Drinkwitz's previous extension, which came on the heels of the 2023 football season. As part of the new deal, Drinkwitz has a larger salary pool to spend on his assistant coaches, which is expected to come into play soon with an extension for defensive coordinator Corey Batoon, at a minimum.
