2016 continues to be the gift that keeps on giving for Georgia Southern fans.
After a disastrous season under now former offensive coordinators David Dean and Rance Gillespie, the two now allege that they were forced into signing new contracts in November that effectively would have ended their tenures with the team in February instead of the original 18 month deals they signed when joining Tyson Summers’ staff early in 2016.
The lawsuits allege breach of contract, fraud and tortious interference after the school failed to execute the 18-month contracts the coaches signed initially, then pressured them to sign shorter deals two days before their dismissal.
