On Tuesday, the former baseball coach and the defendants in the case — Auburn's board of trustees, outgoing athletics director Jay Jacobs, former CEO David Benedict, senior associate athletic director Rich McGlynn, former director of baseball operations Scott Duval and baseball administrator Jeremy Roberts — reached an "amicable settlement of all issues," according to court documents filed on Thursday.

Judge Charles S. Coody ordered both parties to file a joint stipulation for dismissal by Feb. 8. The case was originally set to go to trial on Oct. 15 of this year.

Golloway, who coached Auburn's baseball team from 2014-15, was fired with cause on Sept. 27, 2015. His lawsuit fired against the university claimed breach of contract, defamation, fraud and tortuous interference.

Coody dismissed all but one charge with prejudice on March 21 of last year. Golloway and his attorney, filed and objection and asked for a jury trial, which was granted for just one charge: Intentional interference of contractual relations.

Because Auburn fired Golloway with cause, it did not have to pay him a buyout, which would have equaled the $1.25 million that remained over the final two years of his contract.

The NCAA cleared Golloway of any Level I, II or major infractions during his time at Auburn on Jan. 30, but Auburn stated on Feb. 4 that it found four Level III violations and that his firing was accepted by both the SEC and NCAA.

Terms of the settlement, if there are any, are not known.

Prior to reaching the settlement, Saxon filed a motion to withdraw as Golloway's attorney citing "diverging views regarding themanner and means by which this case should be prosecuted," on Tuesday, but withdrew that motion to withdraw Thursday morning after he and Golloway reconciled their differences after "numerous phone conversations and email communications."
