The University of Kansas athletic department on Wednesday made public new football coach Turner Gill’s contract, and the school determined that Gill’s five-year, $10 million deal makes him the fifth-richest coach in the Big 12 Conference.
Gill, hired in December to replace the resigned Mark Mangino, will earn an annual base salary of $229,900 in addition to an annual media payment of $1,770,100. If Gill coaches all five years of his contract, he will receive a retention payment of $500,000. If he is terminated without cause, he will receive $100,000 for each year that he coached.
Gill is eligible for incentive payments that could total as much as $400,000 in any one year: Big 12 regular-season championship ($25,000), bowl game participation (one month’s salary), BCS bowl game participation ($50,000), national coach of the year ($100,000) and ku winning the BCS title ($200,000).
“Turner Gill is a winner,” ku athletic director Lew Perkins said. “He is an excellent coach and a terrific person. With Turner and the outstanding staff he has assembled, Kansas fans can look forward to many exciting Saturdays at Kivisto Field at Memorial Stadium.”
Other details of the agreement:
•By Jan. 31, Kansas will pay Gill $355,735 ($200,000 after taxes) for his buyout payment to the University at Buffalo.
•If Gill is terminated without cause, he will be owed the full amount of his contract.
•If Gill is terminated with cause or terminates the contract himself, he gets nothing owed after the date of termination. Interestingly, Gill’s contract does not detail an appeal process for use in the event that he is terminated for cause as Mangino’s did.

Gill = Wooly

Kind of like Lew's first big hire, Bonnie Henrickson....
EPIC FAILURE. :lol:

Going rate for a head coach in the big 12 these days. Simple as that. We'll find that out when Snyder retires after next season. We'll probably have to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of 2.5-3.0 a year for a coach.

FYP
ku backed themselves into a corner with the contract they gave mangino and with what they offered harbaugh. if they went lowball on gill, they look like they struck out even more than they have.

all depends on what qualifed and proven means. If my turning a small MAC school into not an embarrasment, then yes. If you want someone, like say, Gary Patterson, I think 3 to 3.5 will be the starting point. Remember, for the most part, when Snyder was here, Kansas State's assistants were the LOWEST paid total in a staff of BCS conferences.
Sure, Turner Gill is probably overpaid to a degree, but you know, when you go and hire someone, you can either get a retread on the cheap, you can hire an obscure OC no one has heard of, or you can hire someone generally regarded as up and coming. If you want an up and comer, you've got to pay them like they are already here. Sadly, it's just the cost of college athletics. :oodsign:

Meanwhile, K-State is too broke to pay Frank Martin more than $800,000. LOL, indeed.

Why do you keep spinning this back towards ksu? Too ashamed of your university to face the facts? Offering 800k makes sense if you're an AD, for a starting point- it's called bargaining. See ksu's ad is smart enough to come to a common agreement by both parties, not overpay a new football coach by 800k.
