Former Augusta Colts head coach Bubba Diggs made a move for victory over majority owner John Sisson and the Colts on Thursday, but Sisson and his team have already moved on to another game.

At a Thursday afternoon news conference in North Augusta, Diggs failed to produce a contract to prove the length of his employment with the team, but he did present unofficial paperwork that pointed to a year-long agreement.

At the same time, the Colts front office was already taking steps to hire a new coach.

"We've interviewed one coach already and we're working on narrowing it down to four finalists. Two are local," Colts vice president of operations Andrew Wright said.

Diggs has been at odds with Sisson and the Colts after Sisson informed the longtime Augusta indoor football coach that he would not receive a paycheck past July because his contract expired at the end of the football season.

The 48-year old coach, who has argued that his contract lasts through the end of the calendar year, admitted Thursday there was no written contract but did produce two letters, both from then-Colts assistant general manager Kelli Pierson.

Diggs said the first letter proves he's entitled to payment through the end of December. The letter is dated Jan. 4, 2008 and signed by Pierson but is not signed by Sisson or any of the Colts ownership.

Sisson did not return a phone call seeking comment, but Wright said the letters meant nothing and questioned their authenticity.

Pierson, who was fired from her assistant general manager position in July in a separate incident, said she was given the authority to offer proof of employment.

Diggs started the news conference by saying his intent was to bring closure to the situation but also said he planned to take legal action as early as today.
