Assistants owed near $1.9 million
FAYETTEVILLE -- The University of Arkansas could owe its departing staff of assistant football coaches nearly $1.9 million based on a review of their contracts.
The bulk of that money will go to defensive coordinator John Chavis, who had a year remaining on his contract, which was set to increase to $1.6 million on March 1. Offensive coordinator Joe Craddock and defensive line coach Kenny Ingram also had one year remaining on their deals.
Nine of the 10 full-time assistant football coaches at Arkansas received termination letters that were dated Dec. 5 and signed by Athletic Director Hunter Yurachek, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette learned Tuesday through a public-records request.
