Interim coach Biff Poggi says Michigan players feel 'betrayed'

ORLANDO, Fla. -- In his first comments since being named Michigan interim football coach, Biff Poggi said Monday his players feel betrayed and angry following the firing and arrest of former coach Sherrone Moore.

During a media availability for the Cheez-It Citrus Bowl, Poggi was asked how both he and his team has handled the events of the last week. Moore was fired last Wednesday because of an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Hours later, prosecutors said that Moore forced entry into the staff member's apartment.

He subsequently was charged with felony third-degree home invasion and two misdemeanors: stalking in a domestic relationship and breaking and entering.
