Gary Moeller is Named Head Coach of the Detroit Lions
Former Wolverine Head Coach Gary
Moeller has been named Head Coach of the Detroit Lions (NFL).
Moeller was chosen to fill the position after Lions Head Coach Bobby
Ross resigned today. Moeller was given a 3 year
contract with the Lions.
| Wolverine fans will
remember Moeller, who led the Wolverines to a 44-13-3 (.733)
record during his tenure as Wolverine Head Coach. Moeller
left the Wolverines after an embarrassing alcohol related
incident off-the-field. Moeller, who succeeded Michigan
legend Bo Schembechler, was under pressure after consecutive 4
loss seasons. Moeller has avoided questions about the
incident that caused him to leave the University of
Michigan. He was replaced at Michigan by Lloyd Carr.
