Kansas University athletic director Lew Perkins said Monday that new head football coach Turner Gill will make approximately $2 million per year for the next five seasons.

Former coach Mark Mangino, who resigned earlier this month under pressure, was making $2.3 million a year, fourth highest in the Big 12.

Gill, who was introduced as KU’s football coach during a Monday morning press conference, is expected to meet with the current players on KU’s roster at a Monday night meeting.
