Alabama athletics announced it had initiated the termination process for former coach Brad Bohannon on May 4, and the letter notifying Bohannon reveals more details why.
The Tuscaloosa News obtained the letter Tuesday in an open records request. Athletics director Greg Byrne sent the letter to Bohannon and wrote that the letter served “as notice of the University of Alabama’s decision to initiate the process of terminating your Employment Contract for cause.”
Byrne said the athletic department believed “sufficient evidence” existed to support firing Bohannon for cause under 10 subsections of Bohannon’s contract. Byrne wrote that other examples of prohibited conduct in the Alabama employee handbook also supported firing Bohannon for cause.
