Former University of Missouri football coach Gary Pinkel will remain at the university as a fundraiser and ambassador.

He will earn nearly $1 million during a three-year contract.

The 63-year-old announced his retirement in November, citing his diagnosis of a form of non-Hodgkin lymphoma that was discovered in the spring.

In the new role, Pinkel would assist with fundraising and engaging with donors and fans, as well as serving as an ambassador at public appearances. He also would advise on football matters as needed.
