Last Chance U
This could mean trouble for the hit Netflix series.

Last Chance U is one of the more interesting sports documentaries on Netflix. The first two seasons followed East Mississippi Community College and their gang of players who were being given their last chance at University football glory. Season three shifted focus to Independence Community College in Kansas, a team coached by Jason Brown. Brown helped the team become a contender in his first few seasons with the team, but now it appears as though things have gone sour as he announced his resignation, according to TMZ Sports.

His resignation comes in light of a text message that leaked to a German player in which Brown tells him "I'm your new Hitler." The school launched an investigation into Brown, but on Sunday, the coach released a statement where he took shots at the Montgomery Country Chronicle who initially broke the story.

Per Jason Brown:

"It is with strong emotions that I announce my decision to resign as Head Football Coach at Independent Community College [...] Given what has most recently been allowed to transpire, it is clear, that it will be nearly impossible to stay here. More plainly, the Montgomery County Chronicle has greatly diminished my ability to do my job, and has set this football program back significantly, and the cumulative effect of all these detrimental factors I believe clearly constitute a constructive discharge of my employment."

Brown and ICC are set to appear in the fourth season of Last Chance U which doesn't have a release date as of right now.
