Summary
Former Michigan football coach Chris Partridge is suing the university, alleging he was unfairly fired in 2023 after whistleblowing on a sign-stealing scandal that university leaders allegedly knew about and covered up. The lawsuit names key figures including former president Santa Ono, athletic director Warde Manuel, and Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti, claiming they concealed evidence tied to offensive coordinator Matt Weiss’s hacking charges. Partridge insists he didn’t interfere with the NCAA probe and was scapegoated, while the university denies commenting on legal matters. Despite being cleared of wrongdoing, his firing damaged his reputation — and he’s now coaching with the Seattle Seahawks.
