((HT: WTVT-TV Tampa))
Former USF head football coach Jim Leavitt has filed a lawsuit against the school according to a news release by Leavitt's attorney- Wil Florin.
In the suit, Leavitt claims the school "illegally" fired him. He says he was terminated because of "hearsay allegations."
The lawsuit comes less than two weeks after the player Leavitt is accused of assaulting, Joel Miller, issued a statement saying he did not plan on suing the former coach. Miller says he “told the truth because it was the right thing to do, not to make money.”
Florin’s release continues: “This announcement was made despite USF’s actual knowledge that Coach Leavitts account was supported by law enforcement, a coach and several players.”
