Former Michigan football coach Gary Moeller, who later served as interim coach with the Detroit Lions, died on Monday at the age of 81.
Moeller was a longtime assistant coach under Bo Schembechler and replaced the legendary coach in 1990 upon Schembechler's retirement.
In five seasons at U-M, Moeller was 44-13-3 and won three Big Ten championship and the 1993 Rose Bowl over Washington. Moeller's teams finished in the top 20 in the national polls each of his five seasons. He was the head coach in 1991, when Desmond Howard won U-M's second Heisman Trophy.
