From The Trussville Tribune staff reports
Former University of Alabama football player Antonio Carter is suing Florida Atlantic coach Lane Kiffin. The lawsuit claims that Kiffin misled Carter on a position at the Florida Atlantic University (FAU) football staff.
Forbes reported that the offer was rescinded after Carter failed a background check, which he disputes.
The lawsuit states that, “Kiffin deliberately misled [Carter] regarding a job on the FAU football staff in order to benefit from his family relationship with a prospect.”
Carter said that Kiffin took advantage of him by revoking his offer after Carter recruited several players to the FAU team. The lawsuit was filed against Kiffin, the university and the state of Florida.

Kiffin makes friends wherever he goes.

Umm the report said the player did not pass the back ground check. Not his problem!
