LINCOLN, Neb. -- Mickey Joseph, Nebraska's interim football coach for nine games this season who was charged with felony assault, is no longer part of the Cornhuskers' program, the athletic department announced Friday.
The department said in a statement it would have no additional comment.
Joseph is accused of putting his hands around a woman's throat, pulling her hair and punching her during a domestic dispute Nov. 30, according to a police affidavit. He was charged Dec. 1 with assault by strangulation or suffocation.
He was placed on administrative leave after his arrest. He denied to police that he assaulted the woman, and his next court appearance is Jan. 30.
