OSU athletic director Mike Holder doesn't believe Wickline is actually calling plays, as Texas head coach Charlie Strong said he would this spring. Holder now wants a check for $593,478 and, according to the lawsuit, has flat-out called Wickline a liar.
The same day Wickline was announced as Texas' new offensive coordinator and offensive line coach, OSU officials hurriedly forwarded a copy of his contract to the American-Statesman. There was a noticeable clause. According to the contract, Wickline would owe OSU the balance of his contract unless he was named offensive coordinator "with play-calling duties" or went to the NFL. At the time, Wickline was signed at OSU through 2016.
All Austin-based media who cover the team daily now refer to quarterbacks coach Shawn Watson as the team's play caller. Texas officials have never disputed this or made any effort to correct anyone.
OSU's lawsuit filed in Payne County, Okla., claims that "Wickline is neither the offensive coordinator, nor does he have play calling duties." He's nothing more than an assistant coach who made a lateral move, that lawsuit states.
