Greg Scruggs, coach of Michigan’s defensive line, resigns following an OWI accusation.
Sherrone Moore, the football coach at Michigan, reports that Greg Scruggs, the defensive line coach, resigned on Thursday. The declaration follows his detention on Saturday for allegedly driving while inebriated.
Moore stated, “I have learned that Greg Scruggs has resigned from his position, effective immediately.” “Because this is a University concern, I am unable to speak further.”
