Alabama coach, Texas A&M settle contract dispute without lawsuit

As the 2018 football season approached, an Alabama assistant coach faced a potential lawsuit from his former employer.

The Texas A&M board of regents' Aug. 16 meeting agenda listed authorization to pursue legal action against Jeff Banks, who left A&M in January to become Alabama's special teams coordinator and tight ends coach.

With the Aggies set to come to Tuscaloosa on Saturday, that fight is over.

The breach of contract dispute was settled in early September before a lawsuit was filed, Devin Bonik, Banks' agent, told AL.com. Details of the settlement were not immediately available and Texas A&M declined comment.
