GSU approves Doug Williams' contract

BATON ROUGE, Louisiana – Fifteen months a lawsuit later, Grambling State University got final approval Monday of a contract hiring Doug Williams as head football coach.

“It is the hope,” said GSU President Frank Pogue, that getting the unanimous approval of the Board of Supervisors of the University of Louisiana System for the contract will ease the tension and result in Williams dropping his lawsuit. “We have met several times since that. We both agreed to move forward with the interest of Grambling.”

The contract offers $250,000 a year salary and up to $100,000 from the Grambling University Foundation for performance rewards.

In the lawsuit filed in April, Williams named Pogue, Grambling, the UL Board and the state Department of Education as defendants.
