Football career
Bowen grew up in Perry, Kansas outside of Lawrence, Kansas, where he led his high school, the Lawrence Lions, to state titles in football, as well as track, graduating in 1990. In college, Bowen was a hard-hitting defensive back for the Jayhawks, in 92–93, following one season at Butler County Community College. He led the Kansas defense in tackles in 1993 with 114 total stops. That figure ranks as the third-most tackles by a Jayhawk defensive back in school history. Clint was instrumental in helping the Jayhawks to an 8–4 final record, a No. 22 national ranking and a win over BYU in the 1992 Aloha Bowl. He was the recipient of the school’s Willie Pless Tackler of the Year Award following his senior season in 1993. Bowen played college football for the Jayhawks under head coach Glen Mason. He later worked as an assistant coach at Kansas for Mark Mangino and Weis.
After losing his first four games as interim head coach, Bowen got his first win on November 8, 2014, when Kansas defeated Iowa State by a score of 34–14.
