NC Central fires head football coach Henry Frazier III after arrest

DURHAM, North Carolina  — N.C. Central University has fired head football coach Henry Frazier III, who was arrested Monday and charged with violating a domestic violence protective order.

“Henry Frazier III’s contract was terminated effective today,” NCCU Athletic Director Dr. Ingrid Wicker-McCree said Thursday. “The University wants to thank coach Frazier for nearly three years of service to NCCU.”

Frazier was initially suspended with full pay, but his contract has been terminated and he is not entitled to any additional severance or a buyout of his remaining $450,000 for the two years left on his contract, according to the school.

The domestic violence protection order stated Frazier was not to have any contact with his ex-wife, including by phone, email and paper. Frazier’s lawyer has said it was a misunderstanding and that his client was trying to get a note to her saying he would pay for a ticket on their car.
