TALLAHASSEE, Florida -- Former Florida A&M basketball coach Clemon Johnson is suing the university for wrongful termination.
Johnson was fired in April of 2014 in the third year of a fouryear contract after leading the Rattlers to a 14-18 record in his final season. He was let go a week after Kellen Winslow was introduced as the school's new athletic director. Winslow resigned Dec. 15.
JOHNSON LAWSUIT
Johnson's annual salary was $150,000. Tallahassee attorney Tim Jansen is representing him.
"(Johnson) is not happy that he was terminated," Jansen said.
"As a pro athlete, he understands you can get cut. But when you have a contract for four years and they fire you, they pay you. They don't want to pay him."
