Newly hired Grand Valley State football assistant suspended after praising Hitler in interview

Morris Berger, the newly hired offensive coordinator at Grand Valley State University, has been suspended for extolling the “leadership” of Adolf Hitler during an interview with the school’s student newspaper.

In the interview, published Jan. 23 by the Grand Valley Lanthorn, the student reporter notes Berger’s history degree and asks which three historical figures the coach would like to have dinner with. Berger’s first answer was Adolf Hitler. For real.

KV: So you graduated from Drury with a degree in History, you’re a history guy. If you could have dinner with three historical figures, living or dead, who would they be?
