Earl Holmes files civil lawsuit against FAMU (Video)

TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Former Florida A&M football coach Earl Holmes is suing the university for wrongful termination, and is trying to claim the remainder of the money owed on his contract -- $400,000 over two years -- plus other damages.

Tallahassee attorney Tim Jansen said Holmes had a four-year contract to coach FAMU football and that former athletic director Kellen Winslow – who resigned on Dec. 15 – chose not to "comply with the terms of the contract."

Holmes is suing the university through its Board of Trustees for damages from "breach of contract, breach of good faith and fair dealing, fraud in the inducement and negligent misrepresentation."
