Michigan's defensive line coach, Greg Scruggs, was arrested for allegedly operating a vehicle while intoxicated just ten days after being hired. The former NFL defensive lineman was taken into custody by Ann Arbor Police around 3 a.m. on a Saturday. Head coach Sherrone Moore promptly announced Scruggs' suspension later that afternoon, emphasizing that Scruggs took accountability for his actions and made no excuses for his 'unfortunate mistake'.
Scruggs joined a coaching staff that has seen significant turnover, with Moore taking over from Jim Harbaugh after a successful nine-season tenure that culminated in a national championship. The university also appointed Wink Martindale as its defensive coordinator, following his two-year stint with the New York Giants in the same role.
