Newsstand: Michigan co-offensive coordinator Matt Weiss under investigation
Tweets Of The Day
Michigan co-offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach Matt Weiss has been placed on paid administrative leave amidst a University of Michigan police department investigation into computer access crimes, according to ESPN.com.
In a statement to ESPN, Weiss said: “I am aware of the ongoing investigation by the University of Michigan police department and fully cooperating with investigators. I look forward to the matter being resolved.
“Out of respect for the integrity of the investigation, I will not have any further comment.”
There was only one U-M police department incident at Schembechler Hall logged in recent weeks, saying: “An employee reported fraudulent activity involving someone accessing university emails accounts without authorization. Upon further investigation, it was found that a crime may have been committed.”
Here’s more from The Wolverine’s Anthony Broome on what constitutes computer access crimes.
ESPN.com’s Dan Murphy broke the Weiss news.
From The Wolverine’s Zach Libby:
Bellevue (Wash.) High educator Lorenzo McKinney returned back to the school’s weight room on Tuesday after taking care of some job responsibilities when he spotted Michigan football head coach Jim Harbaugh deadlifting 325 pounds.

“Of course, he says ‘coach, you have to come join us,’” McKinney told The Wolverine. “Definitely not the normal day for me (laughs). So here I am doing deadlifts and firemen carries with Coach Harbaugh. I couldn’t imagine all of my mornings starting like that (laughs).”
A tweet sent out by the high school football program’s account also went viral that featured Harbaugh, donning a white dress shirt and black slacks, carrying the hex bar back-and-forth while performing a shrug exercise on the indoor turf. It’s become a Harbaugh trademark on recruiting visits for him to throw plates around and pump iron, much to the amazement of high school coaches and players who host him.
Michigan ranks No. 2 in most ‘way-too-early’ top 25 rankings ahead of the 2023 season and will likely be in the top three by the time preseason polls come out in the summer.
Quote Of The Day
“Laughing with a cup of coffee in his hand like nothing happened, like he wasn’t the number one person trending on Twitter. But even with all of the rumors going around, you can tell where his heart was. It’s hard to take away from him being a Michigan Man through-and-through. You can tell that it runs in his blood.”
