OU Board of Regents approved the contract of newly hired receivers coach Emmett Jones at its meeting on Tuesday.

Jones, who was officially hired on Jan. 10, signed a two-year contract and will be paid $550,000 a year until Jan. 31, 2025.

Jones, 48, served as the receivers coach at Texas Tech in 2022 after spending 2019-21 leading receivers at Kansas. 

Jones replaced interim receivers coach L'Damian Washington, who was recently hired by USF, and Cale Gundy, a Sooners assistant from 1999-2022.

Before his resignation, Gundy was set to make $610,000 in 2023.
