I am pretty sure out of all of the DIV I football programs CCU should be the last school talking crap to anyone. Those in whore houses should not throw stones ....or is it glass I cant remember?

For those to lazy like this d bag to actually read the article, they both signed updated contracts on their own free will. If they thought they were being defrauded then why sign a new contract? I would imagine the lawyers are taking this on contingency and hope it does not go to trial. If they had never signed the new contracts I would be all for them getting their money.

Own free will...

From USA Today

The lawsuit alleges that Summers, Kleinlein, senior associate athletics director for business operations Jeff Blythe and director of football operations Cymone George “conspired to change the terms of the January Contract and specifically the employment end date” in order to save money, knowing they would be making coaching changes on the offensive staff.

The lawsuit states that Dean refused three requests from George to sign the new contract, believing he already had signed a valid contract. Dean claims he finally signed the new contract on Dec. 2 following a phone call with Blythe that left him with the impression that if he didn't sign it, he could be fired any time and that his salary and benefits would immediately cease. Gillespie’s lawsuit makes the same claim, saying Blythe “informed Gillespie that it would be in Gillespie’s best interest to sign the November contract for his own protection.”

On Dec. 3, following the final game of the season, Kleinlein announced that Summers would remain as head coach. The next day, however, Dean and Gillespie were let go. On Dec. 9, Georgia Southern hired Georgia Tech quarterbacks coach Bryan Cook — who turned down the job a year earlier — to be the offensive coordinator.

The lawsuits allege that coercing the coaches to sign new contracts in November under the “ruse” that their January contracts weren’t valid amounts to fraud and conspiracy to defraud.

These are allegations. He would have to produce an email or a phone record showing that he was threatened into signing the new contract for it to hold up in civil court. Since the Board didn't sign the original contracts, they very would could have been fired at any moment with no guarantee of benefits so it really was in their best interest to sign a new contract. At most, GS will have to pay a settlement for mishandling the first contracts, but this will most likely be handled before the case even goes through court.

Of course they're allegations. Nobody is dumb enough to make that type of request / threat via email.
