FAMU's Head Baseball Coach Brown to be dismissed

TALLAHASSEE, Florida  --  FAMU has informed baseball coach Willie Brown he will be fired, following allegations of sexual harassment by a walk-on infielder that he cut from the baseball team twice.

Brown was notified of the university’s decision in a letter dated Monday, Jan. 14, and signed by interim president Larry Robinson.

The letter was provided to the Democrat on Wednesday by Brown’s attorney, Steven Andrews, who received it a day earlier.

Andrews also released to the Democrat a letter he sent to FAMU on Wednesday requesting a hearing for Brown to state his case.

Andrews said he won’t attempt to have Brown reinstated as coach, but he wants his client’s name cleared. Andrews said he intends to take the case to court if needed.

Brown remains on administrative leave with pay pending a final written decision from the university.
