Both Kansas football coordinators signed three-year contracts before the season and each could potentially be owed $1 million if released voluntarily by KU Athletics in the next few months.
Offensive coordinator Doug Meacham and defensive coordinator Clint Bowen have similar clauses if they are fired based on performance, according to their contracts obtained by The Star. If let go, the assistant would be paid the remainder of his KU contract minus whatever salary he makes with a new position at another school.
Meacham is making $520,000 per year through 2019, while Bowen is receiving $500,000 per year.
