Mizzou football assistant coaches receive contract extensions
COLUMBIA, Mo. - Three Missouri football assistant coaches received contract extensions following the 2022 season as head coach Eli Drinkwitz returns the bulk of his staff for the first time.
Receivers coach Jacob Peeler, cornerbacks coach Al Pogue and linebackers coach/co-defensive coordinator D.J. Smith all received one-year extensions through the 2024 season. Pogue also received a $25,000 raise, pushing his guaranteed compensation to $350,000 for each of the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
Peeler and Pogue both joined the staff last year and initially signed two-year contracts. Earlier this offseason, Peeler's name was connected to job openings at Auburn under new head coach Hugh Freeze.
