Michigan has fired co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss three days after it was first reported that he had been placed on administrative leave amid an investigation by university police, the school announced Friday.
In a statement, Wolverines athletic director Warde Manuel said that Weiss’s termination came “after a review of University policies,” according to Sports Illustrated’s Pat Forde. Manuel declined to expand upon the specific circumstances that resulted in the 39-year-old’s dismissal.
According to ESPN, Weiss’s firing is expected to be “for cause,” and there is a clause in his contract that includes “for cause” firings for the conviction of a felony, in addition to a conduct clause for morality.
