MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — New West Virginia offensive coordinator Joe Wickline will earn $425,000 next season and $450,000 in 2017, and would owe the school a buyout equal to the full remaining value of his contract should he leave for another job in the Big 12.
Wickline has been a fixture in the league the past 11 seasons, with a nine-year run as offensive line coach at Oklahoma State followed more recently by a two-year coordinator stint at Texas, where he earned $575,000 annually.
Wickline’s would owe West Virginia 25 percent of his remaining contract value should he terminate the deal for a job outside the conference, according to documents acquired Tuesday after a Freedom of Information records request.
