Former Ohio football coach Brian Smith files wrongful termination lawsuit, disputes for-cause firing
Former Ohio University football coach Brian Smith filed a wrongful termination lawsuit against the university on Friday. Ohio fired Smith for cause in December 2025, citing allegations that he had a romantic relationship with an undergraduate student and was intoxicated during a public appearance.“This case arises from Ohio University’s…decision to destroy the career and reputation of its head football coach first and justify it later,” Smith’s lawsuit reads. “Those allegations were never adjudicated, never proven, and never subjected to the fair and contractual process OU promised.”Advertisementالمصدر: The Athletic | Source: The Athletic
