Coach Faces Scrutiny

Michigan football coach Gary Moeller was suspended with pay while the university investigates his weekend fight in a restaurant and scuffle with police.

University president James Duderstadt said assistant coach Lloyd Carr will be the head coach during Moeller’s absence.

Duderstadt, whose athletic department has had repeated brushes with the law, said it was too soon to say whether Moeller might lose his job.

“I think that’s very speculative at this point,” he said. “We want to find what the real facts behind the incident are and the degree to which those have implications for the integrity of our programs and the integrity of the university.”
