Gary Moeller, who succeeded Bo Schembechler as Michigan's football coach in 1990 and led the Wolverines to three Big Ten titles in five seasons, died Monday at the age of 81, the university announced.
The cause of Moeller's death was not specified by the school.
"Gary Moeller was a great family man, great friend, great coach, and a man of integrity and high character," former Michigan head coach Lloyd Carr, who succeeded Moeller as Michigan's head coach in 1995, said in a statement. "I admired him, I respected him and I loved him."
Moeller had a record of 44-13-3 in five seasons (1990 to 1994) as the Wolverines' head coach and led his teams to a 4-1 record in bowl game appearances.
