He wasn't fired without cause. The mane sucked at his job and didn't do well. Period. Sounds like a perfectly good reason to me to be fired. If he knew contracts so well he should have negotiated better as BBF said and not signed a bogus contract. That's on no one but him.
And how do you know this for sure that Jackson was fired "without cause"? You're merely guessing.What people have to realize, JSU fired Harold Jackson without cause. Therefore, since Jackson wasn't fired based on him breaching his contract, JSU should have negotiated with him on his termination payment, which they did not. The discrimination part is an added piece in the lawsuit to sweeten the deal, which all good attorneys do when they present a case. Basically, Jackson's attorney is providing two legitimate arguments instead of one. IMO, depending on the actual true language of his contract, Jackson should be able to win the negotiation part easily, with the discrimination part as a way of saying, Mississippi IHL Board practices race discrimination...... I'm sure he has hired big sport and entertainment law firms like Loeb & Loeb to negotiate professional contracts. My ex-wife used to work for them in Los Angeles as a paralegal and they handled contracts for big sports clients.

The term "without cause" is left up to general interpretation. You don't know what happened behind the scenes with players, coaches etc.
"Without cause" could mean a number of things and is left open to interpretation. It's not necessarily limited to on-the-field play.
Unbeknownst to many, Jackson had lost control of his players not only on the field, but off the field as well. That could weigh heavily against him as well.
Lmao 3 pages of absolute BS
Harold, is that you??People who don't understand the legal game, like Jag89 obviously does, will make statements like this using words like 'absolute.' HJ chose a MS lawyer who knows the law and knows the MS IHL. You don't bring an action like this lightly. Stay tuned to see whether this is bs or not.
Harold, is that you??
Another point no one has mentioned. He was paid $70,000 more than the previous coach and he had very little head coaching experience.
I think, Jackson's law suit is a waste of time.
Just pay the Man! We had to pay Melvin Spears, so you all need to pay that man his retirement money. lolHarold need to sit his old azz down and stop wasting people's time with this foolishness.
That man is getting an NFL pension, Social Security benefits and Medicare. His retirement has been set. He's just being petty. LOLJust pay the Man! We had to pay Melvin Spears, so you all need to pay that man his retirement money. lol

He deserved it. Harold doesn't. If anything, he owes money back for not keeping his promises to improve the program.At least we paid Doug....LOL
You know I am man, but he still deserves his money. No coach can guarantee that he can turn a program around 100%. He wasn't given enough time to make it happen.That man is getting an NFL pension, Social Security benefits and Medicare. His retirement has been set. He's just being petty. LOL
It ultimately boils down to the verbiage in the contract, and whether or not he breached it. Wins/ losses is one thing on the surface level. But Harold also skipped out on some media obligations like call-in shows and whatnot. We will see how it all plays out. Personally, I think the lawsuit will get thrown out in the end.You know I am man, but he still deserves his money. No coach can guarantee that he can turn a program around 100%. He wasn't given enough time to make it happen.

That pattern has already been establish and is the basis for the discrimination suit.
If they hadn't hired Hopson they might have been able to argue successfully that it is standard practice for FCS level coaches or something of that angle.
