CAU will run out of the tunnel this Saturday with new interim coach Keith Higdon
Race is always at issue whether you want to talk about it or not, especially in the college football world. This past Friday, former Clark Atlanta University football coach, Ted Bahhur, has had enough and filed a complaint against president Carlton Brown and AD Tamica Jones for racial-discrimination with the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.
Bahhur, who is white, stated he was fired because of the color of his skin and that Brown, who is black, facilitated a series of racial events that caused the firing. For example, Bahhur alleges he was asked questions in meetings and embarrassed by Brown and Jones in ways that black coaches were not.
Bahhur seems convinced that his 20-29 record and current three game losing streak was not the cause of his firing. In response to the firing, “I want everybody to know that that school is a great institution,” Bahhur said. There are “a couple rotten apples in the school that want to treat people different.”
Keith Higdon has been named the interim coach.
