Florida Atlantic football coach Lane Kiffin, the university and the state of Florida are defendants in a fraud lawsuit filed Tuesday by Antonio “A.C.” Carter in Shelby County, Ala.
Carter alleges that Kiffin misled him to believe he had a job on FAU’s football staff in order to leverage his relationship with a recruit. The lawsuit was first reported by SEC Country.
Carter, a former University of Alabama wide receiver, claims in the suit that Kiffin and FAU strength and conditioning coach Wilson Love offered him a position as an assistant wide receivers coach and assistant strength and conditioning coach, before revoking it after two misdemeanor criminal charges surfaced.
