Ex-University of Pittsburgh secondary coach Troy Douglas filed a federal lawsuit against the school on Monday, alleging that he was fired illegally. According to the Tribune-Review, Douglas, 49, maintains that the school unfairly fired him one year into a two-year contract.
Douglas joined the Panthers ahead of the 2014 season, becoming part of head coach Paul Chryst’s staff. Chryst re-signed from Pittsburgh in December to become the head coach at the University of Wisconsin, but he did not invite Douglas to be part of his staff in Madison. Douglas was then fired by Pitt.
