Greg Scruggs was arrested for suspicion of drunk driving just 10 days after he was hired as Michigan's defensive line coach - he resigned on Thursday.
Just 15 days after being hired, Greg Scruggs is out at the University of Michigan. The former NFL defensive lineman was arrested in the early hours of Saturday for allegedly operating a vehicle while intoxicated. He was hired as the football team's defensive line coach on March 6. The 33-year-old was arrested for operating a vehicle while intoxicated at 3 a.m. Saturday, according to Ann Arbor police.
Michigan suspended Scruggs several hours after his arrest. New head coach Sherrone Moore said Scruggs made an 'unfortunate mistake.' 'He made no excuses and has taken accountability for his actions,' Moore said of Scruggs' arrest last week. Scruggs joined a staff that has had a lot of turnover. Moore replaced Jim Harbaugh after nine seasons, the final one ending with a long-coveted national championship.
Scruggs, who is from Cincinnati, was drafted by Seattle in the seventh round in 2012 and played in 18 games over four seasons with the Seahawks and Chicago Bears.
