Former Savannah State University football coach Robby Wells is in the spotlight Sunday morning at 9 a.m. on ESPN’s “Outside the Lines”. Wells “resigned” from the Tigers program, but later says he was forced to resign. He accuses school officials of racism and lies. ESPN producer Arty Berko and reporter Jemele Hill interviewed Wells twice for the story and visited Savannah on two different occasions. They go in-depth looking for answers.
Release sent from ESPN:
In 2007, Savannah State, a historically black university, hired Robby Wells as their first white head football coach in the school’s 98-year history. In his first season, Wells led Savannah State to a 5-7 record, the most wins since the program joined Division I in 2002. The team managed only 2 wins in 2009, and after just two seasons, Wells says he was forced to resign, even though he thought he had the confidence of the administration.
