There was a great deal of excitement about the incoming Michigan football assistants, but it was certainly short-lived.
Just a week and a half after his official hiring announcement in Ann Arbor, Greg Scruggs, the former Wisconsin defensive line coach, was arrested for operating a vehicle while impaired. He reportedly had double the legal limit at the time of his arrest.
On Tuesday, head coach Sherrone Moore shared that Scruggs had resigned from his post.
“I just received notice that Greg Scruggs has resigned his position, effective immediately,” Moore said. “I am unable to comment further as this is a University matter.”
With Scruggs gone, the Wolverines are once again in the market for a defensive line coach. Given he wasn’t on staff for too long, there should be no ramifications when it comes to the roster or the outlook of the position group.
