GSU reacts to Williams' lawsuit

GRAMBLING, Louisiana - A statement was released Friday in reaction to Grambling Football Coach Doug Williams' lawsuit against the university.

The University of Louisiana System President Randy Moffett states:

"Grambling State University and the University of Louisiana System have been bargaining in good faith with Doug Williams for almost a year. We have offered him one of the highest salary and incentive compensation packages in Grambling's conference. We believe that we did everything possible to come to a mutually beneficial arrangement without compromising the University's academic core."



Williams is suing the school over his contract and problems that date back to last summer. The attorney for the Super Bowl MVP and college football Hall of Famer says Williams did not want to sue his alma mater, but after three months of negotiations with Grambling and the University of Louisiana system, Williams filed suit in Baton Rouge Friday claiming the school's president signed a contract containing the offer Williams agreed to and then tried to change it after the coach took over the Tigers' football program.
